Winery history

The Chapoutier family has been present in the Rhône Valley since the early 19th century; family tradition records 1808 as the beginning of their presence in the region. Their winemaking activity developed over time and took a decisive turn with Michel Chapoutier, whose leadership from the 1980s/1990s expanded the Maison’s international reputation and introduced agronomic practices oriented toward biodynamics and the enhancement of individual crus.

Production philosophy

La Maison favors the expression of the terroir through parcel-level selections, low-intervention winemaking practices and vineyard management guided by organic and biodynamic principles. The philosophy of respect for the soil is paired with a strong focus on accessibility and transparency about the wines' origins.

Terroir and vineyards

Based in Tain-l'Hermitage, production is concentrated in the Rhône Valley with a significant presence in the appellations Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Côte-Rôtie, Cornas and Châteauneuf-du-Pape; the Maison also has viticultural projects and collaborations in other regions and countries.
