The family's history in the Rhône dates back to 1808, but it wasn't until 1879 that Polydor Chapoutier transitioned the family from growing grapes to making and trading wine. In 1988, Michel Chapoutier took the company reins, and a push toward quality saw the Chapoutier label begin to gain international recognition.
Michel Chapoutier eschewed the use of traditional, large format chestnut foudres for aging, instead moving toward smaller oak casks with shorter aging periods. He also advocated keeping the wines unfiltered and unfined, and to work with only biodynamically or organically grown fruit across all of the vineyards.

| Rating | 100 RP - 1991 Chapoutier Ermitage le Pavillion - 100 pts! This is a Le Pavilion of mythical proportions. Produced from extremely old vines some dating from the mid-nineteenth century with yields averaging under 15 hectoliters per hectare this is the richest most concentrated and profound wine made in Hermitage. The 1991 Ermitage Le Pavilion follows the pattern of the 1989 and 1990-it is another perfect wine. The saturated black/purple color is followed by a compelling bouquet of spices roasted meats and black and red fruits. Enormously concentrated yet with brilliant focus and delineation to its awesomely endowed personality this extraordinary wine should age effortlessly for three plus decades. Very powerful and full yet displaying silky tannin this is a seamless beauty! RP |
