About Maison Chapoutier

Maison Chapoutier, the first négociant and producer to mark their bottlings with braille, was established in 1879 by Polydor Chapoutier. The business has remained family owned since then and is now run by Michel Chapoutier. His hands off approach to winemaking has lead to a resurgence in quality at Maison Chapoutier, which now produces some of the finest wines in the Rhone region of France.

Expert Reviews

91-93 Points | International Wine Cellar , January/February 2013

Vivid ruby.  An exotically nose evokes cherry compote, blackberry and smoky Indian spices.  Fleshy, sweet and concentrated, with a distinctly spicy quality to it dark berry flavors.  Impressively lush and broad on the persistent finish, with suave tannins adding shape.
