M. Chapoutier ★ 4.7
M. Chapoutier converted its entire Rhone estate portfolio to biodynamic farming in 1991 under Michel Chapoutier, obtaining Demeter certification. The house is one of the largest certified biodynamic wine producers in the world and the only major Rhone negociant to have done so comprehensively. All Chapoutier Hermitage, Cote-Rotie, Saint-Joseph, and Crozes-Hermitage are biodynamically farmed.
Tip: Chapoutier's vineyard walks on the Hermitage hill include biodynamic education. The cellar door in Tain-l'Hermitage is open to walk-ins.
