    Producer

    Producer

    The Hermitage vineyard, where M. Chapoutier - Ermitage Le Pavillon 2006 is produced, is situated on steep slopes, benefiting from optimal sun exposure. The poor, well-drained granite soils encourage deep root development, allowing the grapes to capture the full minerality of the terroir. This Mediterranean climate, with its hot summers and harsh winters, contributes to the slow and even ripening of the grapes, giving them exceptional aromatic richness.

    Domaine M. Chapoutier is managed by Michel Chapoutier, a passionate man who embodies the spirit of innovation and respect for tradition. Under his leadership, the estate has undergone a remarkable transformation, adopting biodynamic practices that have resulted in exceptional quality.
