Producer

Producer

The Greffieux vineyard is situated on steep slopes, enjoying optimal sun exposure. The soils are composed of granite, imparting a high minerality to the wines. The vines, some several decades old, produce concentrated and aromatic grapes. The region's climate, with its hot summers and harsh winters, contributes to the slow ripening of the grapes, allowing the full complexity of the terroir to be expressed. Environmentally friendly viticulture helps preserve this unique ecosystem, ensuring the vines' long-term health.

Owner and history

Today, the estate is managed by Michel Chapoutier, who took over the reins of the family business in the 1990s. Under his leadership, the estate has undergone a significant transformation, notably through the adoption of biodynamic practices. Chapoutier is renowned not only for its commitment to quality but also for its drive to innovate while respecting winemaking traditions. His passion for wine and his deep connection to the terroir are reflected in every vintage, making Domaine M. Chapoutier a leading name in the world of wine.

Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Domaine M. Chapoutier follows traditional methods, with particular respect for each plot. The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully sorted. Fermentation takes place in open vats, promoting gentle tannin extraction. Aging occurs in oak barrels, some of which are renewed annually, allowing the wine to develop complex aromas while preserving its fruit character. This meticulous process, combined with rigorous monitoring of each stage, results in a wine of great depth and beautiful harmony.
