The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Michel Chapoutier is one of the Rhône Valley’s most influential figures, with an unrivaled portfolio of top terroirs. His deep understanding of the land and meticulous approach to winemaking result in wines that capture the purest expression of each appellation. With remarkable consistency and depth, Chapoutier’s wines are a benchmark for Rhône excellence.
Wine A blend of parcels spanning the northern and southern parts of the appellation, the 2022 Red Saint-Joseph Deschants is a true reflection of its terroir. It offers floral aromas and vibrant fruit notes in a supple, approachable style. With its fresh, mid-weight structure, this wine pairs beautifully with slow-cooked meats or a classic rabbit stew.
Vinification Hand-harvested. Vinified for 3 to 4 weeks in open concrete vats with one or two pump-overs per day. Aged for 12 to 18 months, mainly in vats and partly in oak barrels.
