  History
  
  How not to talk about Maison M. CHAPOUTIER without quoting 1808, the year it all started. Let's put this date back in context and retrace the path. It was -almost- 210 years ago...
- Michel
  
  Michel
  
  Unique, unconventional, curious about everything, Michel Chapoutier’s mind has never been static. Michel is always on the move, so are his ideas, his tastes and his wishes.
  "If I stay still, I fall." Michel is a “wine-lover” and “life-lover”, he is enthusiastic and selfless.
- Values
  
  Values
  
  Humility is at the heart of the M. CHAPOUTIER soul. Nature always has the final say. The winemaker observes, decides and guides nature in the most respectful way possible. ‘Fac et spera’ (do and hope), has become the family currency, an ethos which has given rise to three fundamental values. Our founding values.

- Single vineyard selections
  
  Single vineyard selections
  
  A single vineyard selection is an exact “photography” of a terroir. To obtain it and to reveal it requires hard labor. This quest for the absolute looks like an insane bet. A bet that can become an accomplishment if it is won.
- Biodynamics
  
  Biodynamics
  
  Opening to biodynamics is first of all about observing, noticing and acting. Some agricultural methods erode the soils and weaken them, they stifle biological life regardless how important it is. This observation led us to taking a stand and daring a disruptive move. Since 1991, biodynamics is at the heart M. CHAPOUTIER’s philosophy.
- Terroirs secrets revealed
  
  Terroirs secrets revealed
  
  Michel Chapoutier claims to be a chineur. He creates terroirs where no one would dare to, where no one would bet a cent. In the Rhône Valley, the cradle of our Maison, then in Roussillon, Australia and Portugal, the terroirs were waiting for the right time to reveal themselves.
- Terroirs map
  
  Terroirs map
  
  Terroir is a combination of soil, climate and man’s know-how. It’s impossible to make the best wine. Trying to get the best possible snapshot of a terroir is the art of the vintner. It’s not about making technical wines, but serving the terroir. Allowing it to express itself truthfully. Man can make or destroy a terroir.

- Mathilde's world
  
  Mathilde's world
  
  Discovery, simplicity, conviviality… for Mathilde Chapoutier, wine is the fruit of pleasure. Through encounters and appellations, different soils reveal their secrets with their different characteristics. A journey, the idea of transmission, is meaningful. Wine is a permanent exploration, an never-ending journey.
- Maxime's world
  
  Maxime's world
  
  Even if his passion for wine is absolutely alive. Maxime Chapoutier opens his own path. A desire to explore, to do for yourself. To surprise yourself. Without losing sight of this fundamental anchor: the vineyard.

  Single Vineyard selections
  
  What better way to describe a Sélection Parcellaire (Single Vineyard Selection) than to say that it is a precise ‘photographic’ image of a terroir? In view of the painstaking work involved, this title is something that must be earned. This quest for the ultimate expression of a terroir is a challenge that is not without risk. Yet it is also a challenge which, once completed, becomes a tremendous accomplishment.

Tasting notes

Appearance: Bright golden yellow.

Nose: Intense, very mineral, notes of celery, discreet, integrated oak.

Palate: Full-bodied, fat and very fine on the palate, with a lovely exotic freshness and roasted almonds.

Sommelier's advice:

Serve with: Monkfish Tajine; Curried Prawns

Grape variety/varieties: 100% Marsanne.

Harvest: To ensure a perfect balance between ripeness and freshness, each parcel is harvested by hand in several passes.

Soil: Steep, south-facing hillside. High Rhône terraces, rolled pebbles and loess on a deep clay base.

Vinification: Light settling. Whole grape pressing; moderate use of sulphur. Fermentation mostly in demi-muids, foudres (85% of which 10% new) and stainless steel vats (15%).

Ageing: Aged on the lees for 11 months with a few stirring of the lees.
