M.CHAPOUTIER ‘MARIUS BY MICHEL CHAPOUTIER’ ROUGE IGP

Grape variety

Grenache and Syrah are two Rhodanian grape varieties.

Soil

In order to achieve a balanced and complex vintage, the vineyards we have selected are cultivated on clay and calcareous hillsides. This type of location provides a favourable sun exposure on the hillsides as well as sufficient water reserves in the limestone earth that the vineyards can reach its desired maturity. Furthermore, these vineyards are controlled using the Royat Cordon pruning technique, enabling to grow balanced grapes with a regular maturity. The rootstocks are adapted to the soils.
