With roots dating back to 1808, M. CHAPOUTIER is one of the oldest companies in the Rhône Valley. Yet, its world renown and the quality of wine can truly be accredited to the arrival of Michel Chapoutier in 1990. His willingness to change the set way, thirst for knowledge and open-mindedness, together with his drive to seek, discover and reflect the full potential of our terroirs, letting the soils express their true character, has put our wines firmly on the wine world map.

Chapoutier Chateauneuf du Pape Croix de Bois 2020
15.5% abv
“All Grenache from a classic clay-and-galets site on the eastern side of the appellation, Chapoutier’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Croix de Bois is a bigger, more rugged expression of Grenache than the more elegant Barbe Rac. Bold black cherry and licorice notes lead the way in this full-bodied, rich, velvety wine that should drink well for at least a decade.” 2022 – 2033
95 Points, Joe Czerwinski, The Wine Advocate, May 2024
From a plot near the town of Bédarrides, from a vineyard covered in large round pebbles over sandy red clay. Vinifications are made in concrete tanks. Grapes are destemmed and the vatting lasts around 3 weeks, in order to polymerize the tannins. Only the free-run juice is used to make this wine. Ageing in tanks between 14 and 16 months.
