CHAPOUTIER Le Clos 2016

Wine 2016 Rhône Saint Joseph

Optimal maturity: 2020 - 2040. 100% Syrah. The M. Chapoutier Le Clos 2016 (Syrah, Saint-Joseph) seduces with deep aromas of blackcurrant, blackberries and violets, nuanced with graphite and flint. The palate offers a silky texture, elegant tannins, taut richness, and a saline finish evoking the granite of the terroir.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Looking even better than it did last year, now that it's in the bottle, Chapoutier's 2016 Saint-Joseph Le Clos is impressive indeed. Classy notes of crushed stone and pencil shavings are joined by floral hints of violets, plus ripe cassis on the nose. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, it comes across as dense yet not heavy (does that make any sense?), finishing with silky tannins and a tremendously long finish. It's a tour de force in Saint-Joseph, nearly equal in quality to Chapoutier's parcel-selection wines from across the river in Hermitage.

Whiffs of granite and crushed violet petals align from nose to finish, lending vitality to rich, penetrating cassis and blackberry flavors. While medium-bodied in frame, it's a powerful wine speckled by smoke, ore and rich earth and held upright by fine, taut tannins. Just beginning to open now, it's a wine that should improve for decades to come.

The dark currant and blackberry fruit features a lightly mulled edge, mixing in bay leaf and sage hints, along with a whiff of singed mesquite. A subtle echo of smoldering earth emerges at the very end, with the fruit keeping pace. This has range and character.

Green Guide 2019 A spicy definition. The oakiness stands out more. Well-crafted on the palate, the body remains firm. Nice potential, but the aging somewhat undercuts the fruit.

Lovely peppery scent on the palate with dense black fruit and firm, floury tannin. A wine of large proportions, with very long, dark black fruit on the finish. A black hole of a wine. Has many years ahead of it.

Château M. Chapoutier
M. Chapoutier
M. Chapoutier
Since 1808, the Chapoutier name has existed in the Rhone Valley. The distant ancestor Polydor Chapoutier was the first to start buying vineyards, thus moving from being a winemaker of an estate to becoming a winegrower, wine producer and merchant. The pioneering spirit was already inscribed in the family. Since 1990, Michel, in his forties, has been at the head of an exceptional vineyard. A land rich in history and traditions. Passionate about the expression of soils, Michel gives his convictions the means to flourish. Breaking choices, to succeed in synthesizing the past with his own audacity. History of time. As it goes for each element of nature. Time and earth. The roots, the vine and the fruit. From there was born all the richness and generosity of Maison M. Chapoutier.
