Crozes Hermitage Rouge 'Les Meysonniers' by Chapoutier is a 100% Syrah, whose grapes are harvested in vineyards with at least 25 years of age that grow in soils rich in gravel and pebbles. They follow the strict rules of biodynamic agriculture. The result is a natural wine and very faithful to the terroir, which is tasty and easy to drink after a year of rest in concrete tanks. Aromas of red fruits, black currant, raspberry and violet that give a full and round taste, with a finish of cooked fruit and vanilla.

Already in 1808 a distant ancestor of the Chapoutier family began buying the first vineyards in the Rhône Valley. Today Michel has always been enthusiastic about wine and then self-taught, guiding the company with biodynamic philosophy, trying to respect his land, to exalt it and bring it directly to the glass. His spirit of strength and conviction led him to "export" this philosophy to other continents as well. Michel, in fact, produces wine in Australia and the United States, but also bought vineyards in Alsace and Portugal. However, the lure of the house has always been strong, and thanks to the flourishing "negotiating" activity it has been able to invest many resources in the development of the Domaine family in the Rhône valley.
