The wine
Le Méal presents itself with a very deep garnet red color with violet reflections in its youth. The nose is made of ripe fruit with a subtle hint of smoke. In the mouth it reveals powerful, velvety tannins on blackberry jam. Depending on the vintage, the wine can be stored for 30 to 60 years, or even 50 to 75 years.

The winery
M. Chapoutier
The Maison Chapoutier lays claim to a family tradition which dates back to 1808, although it wasn't until Michel Chapoutier took control of the company in 1990 that its wines began to stand out, with a very extensive catalogue offering a variety of high quality products.
