Chapoutier's origins go back to 1808, when this family began cultivating wine. Today, they own 240 hectares of vineyards in the Rhône Valley. They operate entirely biodynamically and often focus on a single grape variety, combining the true expression of each grape variety with the region's unique terroirs.
To achieve a balanced and complex harvest, the selected vineyards are cultivated on clay and limestone slopes. This type of location offers favorable conditions for sun exposure on the slopes, as well as sufficient water reserves in the limestone soil, allowing the vineyards to reach the desired ripeness. Harvesting is carried out at night to protect the grapes from oxidation, resulting in richer yet fresher wines. The pressing is direct, without maceration, and alcoholic fermentation is carried out at a low temperature. Once alcoholic fermentation is complete, the wines are cooled and aged on the fine lees to enhance their minerality. Finally, they are aged for five months on the fine lees in stainless steel vats.
Chapoutier Marius Vermentino is a pale yellow with greenish reflections. You can immediately enjoy the delicious citrus aromas, with notes of grapefruit and ripe fruit. Its fruity flavor is complemented by a pleasant acidity, giving the Vermentino good length on the palate.
