Product Notes

M. Chapoutier Temenos is a highly acclaimed wine that's gaining popularity among wine enthusiasts worldwide. The wine comes from the Rhone Valley in France and is made using the best hand-picked grapes. It is a blend of different grapes, including Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Roussanne. The wine has a deep ruby color, and its complex flavor profile offers notes of dark fruit, spices, vanilla, and minerals, with a hint of smokiness. The tannins are firm, and the acidity is well-balanced, creating a perfectly structured, full-bodied wine with a long, velvety finish. M. Chapoutier Temenos is a wine that's meant to be savored on special occasions or paired with hearty meals.

Tasting Notes

Reductive nose with notes of graphite, black fruit jelly and laurel, complemented by hints of cedar and fig leaves. Palate: broad on entry, then big on the mid-palate with velvety tannins. Shows nice balance between freshness and power with an aromatic range dominated by spices, nice ripe black fruit and sooty notes.

About the Winery

Maison M Chapoutier is an attractive French winery that emphasises the terroirs where the fruits are cultivated. This label's history dates back to 1808, when the area for establishing it was created in L'Hermitage in Tain. The ownership of this House changed over the next few years, before it finally came under the control of Rodolphe Delepine in 1883. In 1897, Marius Chapoutier joined hands with Delepine to establish the company, Delepine et Chapoutier. The wines made by this company were of top-notch quality. They began to export these wines to countries like Germany, Netherlands and Switzerland.

After Delepine's retirement, the company underwent a name change, and it became to be known as Chapoutier et Cie. The wine house saw a significant achievement in 1929 when the M Chapoutier winery was set up, right at the foothills of the Hermitage Hills. After Marius's death, his sons took over the management of the company. So new techniques, including biodynamic farming, were introduced here, despite the winemaking team sticking to the traditional viticultural practices that were followed many centuries ago.

In 1998, this brand made its mark on foreign soils, when it purchased a winery in Australia. They kept on expanding vine production and in 2009, they had to set up a new production facility in Tain to meet the demands. Today, a young brigade of expert and passionate winemakers, who work hard to make this a trusted name in the French wine market, carries the Chapoutier legacy forward. Some of the domaines that come under the ownership of the M Chapoutier Wine House are:
