M. Chapoutier is known for its innovative and terroir-driven approach, and Rouge Clair is no exception. Sourced from carefully selected vineyards, this wine is crafted using a delicate maceration process to achieve its light and fresh character while still maintaining the depth of a Rhône red.

The winemaking process focuses on preserving fruit purity and elegance, with fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to enhance its bright, juicy flavors. Minimal intervention allows the terroir and grape expression to shine, resulting in a wine that is as charming as it is versatile.

This unique style reflects Chapoutier’s commitment to crafting wines that are both rooted in tradition and modern in appeal.
