Saint Joseph - Les Granilites - M-Chapoutier - Red 2021- PDO

Food and wine pairing: Roasted venison fillet with grand veneur sauce and beef fillet with pink peppercorn.

Taste: This wine has a lovely intensity on the nose, with notes of wild black fruits such as blackcurrant and blackberries, accompanied by a subtle mineral touch of graphite, all highlighted by a pleasant integrated oak. On the palate, the wine offers a beautiful, soft and balanced attack. The tannins are fine and tightly woven, and the presence of mineral tension from the granite terroir is noticeable. The finish is persistent, giving way to beautiful lingering notes of black fruits.

Tasting temperature: 15/16°C

Alcohol content: 12.5%

The Estate and the Vineyard

In the late 1990s, Mr. CHAPOUTIER took over the management of the family business, which had been operating in the Rhône Valley since 1808. Its objective is to enhance biodynamic properties to produce mineral and character wines. Thanks to this, he significantly increased the quality of his wines. These wines are then kept perfectly in time. His trading house thus experienced a period of prosperity due to investments in other regions and other countries (Australia). 

Michel CHAPOUTIER is known for his enthusiasm and his love of wine and life.
