Winemaker and wine merchant, Michel Chapoutier has successfully elevated this family-owned business to the very top. The wines by Maison Chapoutier are renowned by the finest connoisseurs from all around the world for their refinement and high quality. A man of many talents, Michel Chapoutier holds the world record for 100/100 scores awarded by the American critic, Robert Parker. Mathilde, Michel Chapoutier's daughter, has taken over the running of this iconic house, which comprises over 350 hectares of vineyards in the most prestigious appellations of the northern and southern Rhône Valley region.

Vinification and ageing

M. Chapoutier’s Le Clos 2020: Characteristics and tasting tips
The tasting
Colour
Intense garnet-black colour with purple highlights.
Nose
The nose blends black fruit fragrances (cherry, blackberry) with subtle graphite notes that provide a suave minerality.
Palate
A rich and elegant attack precedes a palate with silky tannins and a great finesse. The finish is persistent and seductive with a rich aroma that perfectly expresses the nuances of this granite terroir.
