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

Manual harvest in the vineyard. Rosé wine made by pressing, using only the first press. Alcoholic fermentation occurs at a controlled temperature of 16–18°C for about 16 days. No malolactic fermentation is carried out. The wine remains in stainless steel tanks for 2–3 months on the lees, with several rackings and light filtration before bottling.

Tasting notes

Pale pink colour. Intense fruity aromas. Finishes with red fruit notes and minerality.

Food pairing

Ideal to enjoy on its own or paired with snacks or charcuterie.
