Yannick Alleno & Michel Chapoutier
With a shared passion for the terroir, the grape and that perfect food-wine pairing, the Michelin-starred chef and the Rhône Valley winemaker decided they should join forces. The Rhône Valley was the natural choice for their first wine: a Saint-Joseph, one of the world’s most prestigious appellations, followed by a Crozes-Hermitage. This is just the beginning of an exciting exploration of terroirs, wines and gastronomic dishes...
The Meeting
Two men, lovers of the land and its produce. Two creative and innovative trail blazers. Driven by a love and respect for the terroir.
When they met, a strong bond was forged. Instantly. Naturally.
Yannick Alléno, the gifted, three-star chef, known for his perfectionism. His cuisine reinvents tradition, blending classicism with modernity.
Michel Chapoutier, the Rhône Valley winemaker, and ambassador and campaigner for winemaking in general. His wines reflect their terroir and reveal their truth.
This meeting was to give birth to the first wine in October 2010.
Couronne de Chabot. A Saint Joseph from thirty year old plots of Syrah in Tournon. Born in a hillside vineyard, which the two men had selected together, worked traditionally and converting to biodynamic viticulture. Elegant mineral aromas, violets, licorice.
The story continues, the passion grows ever stronger. Passion for the Rhône Valley. Passion for a terroir.
