Pulled from my cellar, Ferraton’s 2015 Cornas “Le Grands Muriers” pours a sort of violet/garnet color with a transparent core. Medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose the wine is developing with notes of dark bramble fruits, some blue fruits, purple flowers, Herbs de Provence, bacon fat, a touch of the animal, some olive tapenade and a kiss of baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium, bordering on medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Long, with a delicious rocky mineral finish. Whatever Michel Chapoutier is doing seems to be working. These wines from Ferraton rarely miss anymore and are absolute sleepers when it comes to value for money. This bottle of 2015 is drinking beautifully right now on the pop and pour and will continue to do so for the next 10+ easy. — a year ago

This Australian Shiraz is produced from the collaboration between Terlato and Michel Chapoutier. The result, based on the unique Malakoff vineyard, is indeed very noteworthy. A deep dark 100% Shiraz, with flavours of berry/blackberry fruit, some chocolate, some wood, with very smooth tannines, being a very concentrated wine. This will eadily last for another decade! — 4 years ago

History of Chapoutier family dates back to the early 19th century when current owner Michel Chapoutier’s great-, great-, great-grandfather Marius purchased estate & famous l’Hermitage vineyards. Medium Ruby with aromas of rich red/black fruits and spice, 16 months in 25% new French oak. On the palate raspberry, cherry & black currant flavors with notes of oak. Soft dusty tannins, well balanced ending with fruit, spice and cedar. Very nice! I wouldn’t age long, great now! — 2 years ago

Tasting with Chapoutier. Almond, marzipan, pineapple, white flowers on the nose. So young that Michel said that it’s more green almond dominated for now - as it ages will be more roasted almond. Good stuff but way too young. — 3 years ago
