Les Clos Rouge St Joseph

Maison M. Chapoutier is one of the most recognizable and sizeable producers in the Rhone Valley. It is known for its wines from both the north and south of the valley, but in particular for its red and white Hermitage wines, made from Syrah and a blend of Marsanne and Roussanne, respectively. Chapoutier is one of the oldest names in the Rhone valley. Founded in 1808 by the Calvet family, it was sold to the Chapoutier family in 1855. Today, Chapoutier is a massive negociant and winery located in the Rhone valley. Chapoutier also advocated keeping the wines unfiltered and unfined, and to work with only biodynamically and organically grown fruit across all of the vineyards. 


Nice notes of black fruits (cherry, blackberries), beautiful minerality with graphite notes. Suave attack, rich and elegant. Very fine and silky tannins. Persistent finish and aromatic notes reminiscent of the granite terroir. It already stands out with its atypical nose with exotic notes, of great power yet contained, both black and dense. Sublime and with great potential.
