The Chapoutier family has long been known as a leading light in the Rhone Valley. Still, in 1997, Michel Chapoutier expanded its horizons into the New World, specifically the Australian region of Victoria. Initially making wines with renowned local wineries such Jasper Hill and Giaconda, 2009 Chapoutier purchased the Shays Flat and Landsborough Valley estates in the Australian Pyrenees, giving birth to the wholly owned Domaine Tournon. Unsurprisingly, the focus is on Shiraz, which, under Chapoutier’s skilled hand, manages to evoke the minerality and elegance of the Northern Rhone whilst still expressing the soil and climate of Victoria.
