WINE DESCRIPTION
M. Chapoutier La Combe Pilate is a premium wine produced by the renowned winemaker Michel Chapoutier. The wine comes from the Saint-Joseph appellation in the northern Rhône region of France, which is known for its steep, terraced vineyards and granite soils. The grapes are grown on the slopes of the Combe Pilate, a natural amphitheater that provides ideal growing conditions for Syrah. The wine is made using traditional winemaking techniques, including hand harvesting and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a full-bodied and complex Syrah with notes of black fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. It is a perfect example of the high-quality wines that can be produced in the Saint-Joseph appellation.

ORIGINS
Winery: M. Chapoutier
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
