【📝概述】
🇫🇷 Maison Michel Chapoutier 是法國隆河谷地區 (Rhône Valley) 最著名和規模最大的生產商之一，也是該地區的生物動力先驅。
這款酒的葡萄來自不同的地塊：

Mazard（朝東的山坡帶來肉質感和圓潤）和 Saint-Pierre（高海拔風土帶來新鮮和複雜度）。
釀造和熟成：手工採摘後葡萄被運送到酒廠去梗。 在無襯裡的混凝土槽中發酵持續 10 天，然後泡皮浸漬 4-5 週。 葡萄酒通過有機和生物動力認證並在勃艮第橡木桶（20% 新桶）中陳釀 16-18 個月。

🇫🇷 The Maison Michel Chapoutier is one of the most famous and sizeable producers in the Rhône Valley. He is the biodynamic pioneer of the region.
The grapes for this wine come from different plots: Les Reynards (south-facing granite hillsides bringing maturity and minerality), Mazard (east-facing hillside bringing fleshiness and volume) and Saint-Pierre (high-altitude terroir bringing freshness and complexity).
After hand harvesting, grapes were transported to the winery where they were destemmed. The fermentation lasted 10 days in unlined concrete tanks followed by a maceration of 4-5 weeks. Wine is aged in Burgundian oak barrels (20% new) between 16-18 months and is certified organic and biodynamic.
