Winery | In 1997, true to his pioneering spirit, Michel Chapoutier explored the terroirs of the oldest continent. He wanted to meet people like him who are passionate about bringing out the true character of vines. It is a matter of convictions, too, prompting discovery and observation. He found land awaiting its revelation. In 2002, Maison M. Chapoutier bought two other Australian vineyards (Shays Flat and Landsborough) in the Victorian Pyrenees and set up the fully owned Domaine Tournon. |
