The Chapoutier family have been making wine in the Rhône Valley since 1808, but it is since 1990 when Michel Chapoutier came to the helm that the wines really began to speak of their origin. Michel Chapoutier’s viticultural vision is highly impressive. His dedication to understanding each parcel of land and allowing it to make the best natural wine it can is breathtaking. He has worked tirelessly to improve every practice in his company investing in his staff as well as in the winery and vineyard - much of his estate is now farmed biodynamically. Indeed he has also created dynamic projects outside of the Rhône, examples of which can be found here from Roussillon, where he sought old vines and Australia, where his particular interest was the soil. This entire range is the fruit of extensive research and Michel Chapoutier’s labour. SINCE 1995 maison M.Chapoutier have cultivated some remarquable soils throughout the southern region of the Ardèche. At the foothills of the Coirons in Mirabel, the volcanic soil (previously owned by Olivier de Serres), is perfectly adapted to the cultivation of Viognier. At an altitude of 350 m we are able to glean the freshness, minerality and generous fruit characteristic from this exciting varietal. However, not only do we produce a dry white viognier, but we also make a desert wine ( Coufis de Paille ) which is vinified according to the methods used to make Hermitage Vin de Paille. 'Domaine des Granges de Mirabel' is a yellow green, quite brilliant colour. God intensity, fine aromas of accacia and violets. A combintion of roundness and freshness on the mouth, characteristic of viognier on these volcanic soils.
