M. Chapoutier La Mordorée Côte-Rôtie

The story began with Michel Chapoutier, a unique man with a thirst for knowledge, definitely one of a kind. He seeks to discover and reflect the full potential of his terroirs and let the soils express their true character.
This now forms the basis of the M. CHAPOUTIER ethos to reveal the very best of what the soils have to offer.

The Prestige line is M.Chapoutier’s heritage, representing classic Grands Crus signed Maison M. CHAPOUTIER and representative of their appellations in the Rhône Valley.

The plot producing this wine is located on the border of the “Côte Blonde”, on chlorite and ferruginous mica-schists soils, where the average age of the vines (more than 60 years old) is a guarantee of an exceptional quality product.
