Leader of the biodynamic movement in viticulture, Michel Chapoutier is one of the greatest winemakers of all times. A true craftsman, he creates great wines that represent the best qualities of their appellation.
In particular on the Hermitage terroir, his favorite part of the region, where he makes anthology parcel wines. These terroir wines, produced biodynamically, are the height of complexity and refinement. Crafted to perfection, they have few equivalents.
They are, of course, produced in very limited quantities. These sought-after wines are rarely accessible... Today, we are honored to present to you the complete range of Chapoutier's parcel based wines in an exceptional vintage, at an "en-primeur" price! An offer unheard of everywhere else!
