Michel Chapoutier is a man obsessed by quality and terroir character, and loves wine grown on granitic soils. This brilliant, 91 point Saint Joseph is from just such a vineyard and displays rich, full, stone fruit flavours with a bright mineral edge.

Marsanne needs the right environment to show at its best and Chapoutier’s Saint Joseph vineyards are exactly that. Michel Chapoutier adores the grape – it shows in the quality of this wine. Since he took over, the family cellar in Tain l’Hermitage has ranked among the undisputed champions of the Rhône. Acclaimed by the international press, Michel is committed to innovation and to research into expressing the region’s magnificent terroir in his wines. Robert Parker writes: “Michel Chapoutier is one of the most fascinating personalities in the wine world. The quality of his wines is often extraordinary, frequently brilliant” (Wine Advocate). Taste that brilliance in this organic Marsanne. A lovely drop with cream sauced white meats or fish.
