Mr. Chapoutier's vineyard stretches across the prestigious slopes of Hermitage, where the vines benefit from optimal sun exposure and natural drainage thanks to the granite soils.

Environmentally friendly viticultural practices promote biodiversity and soil health, allowing the vines to flourish. Each plot is carefully selected for its potential, guaranteeing grapes of exceptional quality.

Owner and history

The M. Chapoutier estate is currently managed by Michel Chapoutier, a passionate and visionary winemaker.

Michel is committed to a sustainable approach, respecting the land and its resources while preserving the family heritage.

Vinification and aging

The 2021 Greffieux is crafted with meticulous care. The hand-harvested grapes are destemmed before fermentation in tanks. This method preserves the purity of the Syrah's aromas. The wine is then aged in oak barrels, where it develops its structure and complex aromas. Winemaking choices are guided by a desire to express the terroir, with minimal intervention to allow the wine's authentic character to shine through. This painstaking process results in an Hermitage of great finesse and remarkable depth.
