Christophe Chapillon, French, married with 2 children, was born and lived in Tours, a town in the Loire Valley (France). In the 90’s he moved to Aragon, Spain. In 2006, he decided to follow the family adventure (his uncle being an oenologist in the Loire) and started his own winemaking business. With the help of Cesar Langa (owner of the oldest family estate in Aragon), he launched the ‘Chapillon’ brand. A line of modern and unique, exclusive wines, very different from those usually produced in this area. They are mainly Spanish wines, but with a discreet French influence.

Winemaking

Grapes planted in various plots at 900 metres above sea level. Nature is allowed to take its course, with minimal intervention and no rush. Aged for 6 months in French oak barrels.

Tasting notes

Red garnet colour. Aromas of raspberry, red plum and cherry with a slight smokiness. Structured and well-balanced on the palate, excellent acidity, silky and intense aromas. Lots of blueberry and chocolate character, medium to full-bodied, with firm tannins and a fruity finish. Well crafted.

Food pairing

Pairs perfectly with all kinds of meat (beef), pasta, and stews (lamb, beef).
