FR M. Chapoutier La Ciboise Costières de Nîmes

The story began with Michel Chapoutier, a unique man with a thirst for knowledge, definitely one of a kind. He seeks to discover and reflect the full potential of his terroirs and let the soils express their true character.

This now forms the basis of the M. CHAPOUTIER ethos to reveal the very best of what the soils have to offer.
