M. Chapoutier Deschants Saint-Joseph Rouge

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 Saint-Joseph appellation extends around 50 kilometres on the right bank of the River Rhone, from Chavanay in the north to Guilherand-Granges, near Valence, in the south. The mainly-east facing vineyards are planted on the steep slopes of gneiss and local granite schist, occasionally coated with lenses of loess. This variety of substrates enables Chapoutier to combine complexity, volume and tautness in its Deschants wine.
