Nose

The Smoothness and Precision of a 100% Syrah from the Rhône Valley
The Estate
Founded in 1808 in Tain-l'Hermitage in the Rhône Valley, Maison M. Chapoutier today extends its influence across prestigious appellations and owns estates in Portugal, Australia and Spain. Under the leadership of Michel Chapoutier since the 1980s, joined by his daughter Mathilde in 2017, this family estate has stood out for its full conversion to biodynamics as early as 1991 and its Braille labels since 1996.
The Vineyard
"Serus" is a Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine made from a selection of terroirs (lieux-dits Font de Michel, Les Grandes Cerfs Ouest and Barbe d'Ane) based on various geological formations such as molassic sands and alluvial terraces of rolled pebbles.
Winemaking and Aging
The grapes are hand-harvested. Vinification is carried out with 50% whole clusters in concrete vats, followed by 12 months of aging in demi-muids and oak barrels.
Grape Variety
100% Syrah.
