M. Chapoutier Les Bécasses 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.

Made from 100% Syrah, the vines of Les Bécasses are grown on the South and South-East slopes, which allows the grape variety to express itself with great power and elegance, and deliver a wine of great finesse and good length.
