In some of the less renowned appellations, Chapoutier continues to make stylish, classy white wines. Offering up nose of minerals, cold steel, and tangerines, the 1991 white St.-Joseph-Deschants could easily be mistaken for a top class Chablis, with its stony character and crisp, medium-bodied, fresh, pure fruit, excellent balance and considerable character. It should drink well for 4-5 years.
The young Michel Chapoutier continues his quest of cultivating his vineyards in an organic fashion, and turning out wines that reflect the soil, the grape, and the vintage. These concentrated (because of low yields) wines are made with minimal intervention by the winemaker. Chapoutier did extremely well with his northern Rhone vineyards in 1991.
