Maison Chapoutier 2015

This is a much anticipated release from an incredible vintage and a true legend of winemaking, Michel Chapoutier. This pre-arrival offer is all-inclusive. Meaning, the prices shown include GST, and there are no further payments required upon landing. The wines are expected to arrive in June 2018. These are some of the very finest and most collectable wines in the world and should not be missed!

"The 2015 vintage is a monumental one for this estate and matches (and in many cases, eclipses) what was accomplished in 2009 and 2010. These are ripe, concentrated, structured wines that are going to demand cellar time."
— Jeb Dunnuck

"All of these wines are produced from rigidly cultivated, bio-dynamically managed vineyards. That has been the rule since Michel Chapoutier first took over this firm in the late 1980s. Now, with over 20 years of biodynamic viticulture under his belt, Chapoutier remains committed to this rather radical style of organic farming. He believes the effect is to reduce rot in damp, rainy vintages. Moreover, he has observed that after 10 to 15 years of biodynamic farming, the natural acids tend to be more vivid and the overall pH of the soils (as well as the wines) has dropped. Controversial, outspoken and brutally candid, Chapoutier, who suffers no fools, continues to admirably produce wines that are among the finest in the world and potentially the longest lived. Refusing to acidify, chaptalize, or touch the wines in any way, he clearly wants every wine to capture the very essence of its terroir and vintage personality. In this, he succeeds remarkably."
