    Producer

    Mr. Chapoutier's vineyard is rooted in granitic soils, typical of the Saint-Joseph appellation. These poor, well-drained soils encourage deep root development, allowing the vines to fully express the terroir's unique character. The temperate, Mediterranean climate, with continental influences, provides ideal conditions for grape ripening. The vines, cultivated using biodynamic practices, receive meticulous care, guaranteeing the quality and authenticity of the wines.

    Owner and history

    Domaine M. Chapoutier is managed by Michel Chapoutier, a man passionate about viticulture and innovation. Under his leadership, the estate has evolved while preserving its heritage. Michel Chapoutier is a fervent advocate of biodynamic viticulture, convinced that this approach respects and enhances the terroir. His modern vision of winemaking, while remaining rooted in tradition, has propelled the estate to the forefront of the Rhône Valley's finest wines.

    Vinification and aging

    The Saint-Joseph Les Granits Blanc 2017 is made according to time-honored traditions. The carefully selected grapes are gently pressed to preserve their freshness and delicate aromas. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, allowing for optimal temperature control. The wine is then aged in oak barrels, where it acquires complexity and depth. This artisanal method, combined with a biodynamic approach, guarantees an exceptional wine that truly reflects its terroir.
