Chapoutier Chateauneuf du Pape Pie VI 2023 Bottle (75cl)
The 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Pie VI from Domaine Chapoutier is a red wine from the Rhône Valley, blending predominantly Grenache with a complement of Syrah. This cuvée comes from three sectors of the low Rhône terraces, situated between ancient alluvial deposits and rolled pebbles over Cretaceous marl. The grapes are hand-harvested, then vinified in small concrete vats with 30% whole clusters and indigenous yeasts. Aging continues for approximately 20 months in unlined concrete vats.

Histoire du domaine
The company’s origins date back to 1808, with the founding of Calvet et Compagnie on Rue de l’Hermitage in Tain. In 1897, Marius Chapoutier went into partnership with Rodolphe Delépine to form Delépine et Chapoutier, which at that time exported its wines to the Netherlands, Switzerland and Germany. Following Delépine’s departure in 1922, Marius renamed the company Chapoutier et Compagnie. In 1928, he acquired the La Ciboise estate, then in 1929 had a new winery built at the foot of the Hermitage hill. On his death in 1937, his son Marc succeeded him. In 1955, Marc renamed the company M. Chapoutier. Michel Chapoutier took over the management of the company in 1990, having launched the first single-vineyard selections in 1989. The conversion of the vineyard to biodynamic farming began at that time. Under his leadership, the company gradually acquired estates and vineyards in Australia from 1998, in Roussillon in 2000, in Portugal in 2007, and subsequently in Alsace and Spain, amongst other places. Mathilde and Maxime Chapoutier have joined Michel and Corinne Chapoutier in the family business; Clément Bartschi currently serves as cellar master there.
