Description

France / Rhône / Northern Rhône / Crozes-Hermitage

The Hermitage vineyard holds a treasure. It is the only appellation in the world where four geological epochs become visible. Michel Chapoutier, aware of this impressive diversity of soils, decided to vinify the grapes from these expressive terroirs separately. In these single-vineyard wines, the terroir can unfold unhindered. For Michel Chapoutier, they are a precise reflection of their origin. They tell us everything about the specific characteristics of the soils, about the climate (in which the vintage plays an important role), about the great talent and passion of the winemaker. The vines for Les Varonniers, on average 60 years old, grow on terraces of the steep granite slope of the Chassis parcel.

In Portrait:

M. Chapoutier

M. Chapoutier is one of the defining names of the Rhône and is known worldwide for top wines with a clear, terroir-driven signature. The house, led by Michel Chapoutier, has for many years consistently embraced organic and biodynamic viticulture – from simple Côtes du Rhône to great single-vineyard wines in Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie, Cornas, Saint-Joseph and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The focus is on varietal, authentic wines that precisely reflect origin, soil and vintage. Syrah produces profound, spicy red wines with dark fruit and firm structure, while Marsanne, Roussanne, Grenache Blanc and other varieties deliver complex white wines, often with remarkable ageing capacity. The portfolio is complemented by carefully selected projects in other regions, such as Languedoc, Roussillon and Australia. M. Chapoutier therefore offers a broad spectrum for ambitious connoisseurs and collectors, from accessible bistro wines to sought-after icons.

Origin in Focus

Rhône

The Rhône is divided into two distinctive parts: the northern Rhône, with steep terraces and a cooler climate, and the southern Rhône, with Mediterranean warmth and wide plains.

In the north, Syrah dominates, producing powerful, spicy red wines.

In the south, blends are the focus, above all Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, ranging from juicy and spicy to powerful and complex.

Well-known appellations include Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Vacqueyras and Côtes du Rhône, which stand for accessible, versatile wines. Herbal garrigue notes, dark berry fruit and fine spice are typical aromatic profiles.
