Fortified sweet
mature and exceptional vin doux naturel from the Roussillon region of Southern France, made from Grenache grapes. This dessert wine boasts a rich bouquet combining dried cherries, blackcurrants, plums, figs, raisins, caramel, chocolate, and subtle smoky notes.
On the palate, it is opulent and liqueur-like, with a smooth texture and a long, harmoniously balanced finish. Produced using the traditional “mutage” method, where fermentation is stopped by the addition of spirits, followed by about a month of maceration. The wine is then aged for 24 months – partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in oak barrels.
Recommended serving temperature: 12–14 °C. Pairs well with chocolate desserts, mature blue cheeses, or as an elegant digestif.
The story began with Michel Chapoutier, a unique man with a thirst for knowledge, definitely one of a kind. Michel is openminded and always willing to learn. He seeks to discover and reflect the full potential of his terroirs and let the soils express their true character. That which gives the wines their signature style. This now forms the basis of the M. Chapoutier ethos and our team strives to reveal the very best of what the soils have to offer.
