Tomorrow, spring begins. But first, one final winter journey by bottle.

Throughout winter, we’ve been travelling through the M. Chapoutier world, exploring a different wine region with each stop. For our final chapter, we’re coming home to Victoria and a part of the Australian story shaped by collaboration.

Our story grew through working with respected growers and wine families who already knew their corner of Victoria intimately, cockatoos and all. The idea was simple: bring different experience and knowledge to the same table, working with terroir and its people.

In Heathcote, collaboration with Ron and Elva Laughton of Jasper Hill created La Pléiade, bringing non-grafted vines from historic French clonal selections together with Georgia’s Paddock vines.

In Beechworth, a shared biodynamic philosophy with Giaconda created Ergo Sum, shaped by the region’s granite soils.

And in the Victorian Pyrenees, our partnership with the Terlato family created a collection of wines that includes Lieu-dit Malakoff.

For those who would like to travel with us, our final winter collection brings together one 2015 wine from each collaboration. Three partnerships, three Victorian landscapes and three expressions of the same season.

The Australian Collaboration Trio is available via the link in bio, alongside every region from our Winter Wine journey, until the end of this week.

Each Friday until winter ends, we’ve been travelling somewhere new through wine. This time, we’re bringing the journey home.

Australia became M. Chapoutier’s first vineyard home outside the Rhône in 1997. Here in Victoria, the landscape was completely different, and that was the point. The focus from the beginning has been on letting each vineyard, soil and season shape the wine in its own way.

That Australian chapter became Tournon. Named after Tournon-sur-Rhône, across the river from Tain-l’Hermitage, Tournon carries a connection back to France while the wines speak very clearly of Victoria.

Across Tournon, our vineyards and winery are certified organic, with biodynamic principles at the core. We use indigenous yeasts and traditional winemaking techniques, all Tournon wines are vegan, and every bottle carries M. Chapoutier’s distinctive Braille label, part of a long-standing commitment to inclusivity.

For the first Australian chapter of our Winter Wine Journey, we’ve brought three of these vineyard expressions together: Three vineyards. Two Victorian regions. One way to travel the Australian side of the Chapoutier story by bottle.

The Australian collection is now available in three and six-bottle options, with full tasting notes, vineyard details and the offer via the link in our bio.

It’s been a year of ups and downs at our Heathcote Lady’s Lane, vineyard.

Heat, rain, hard decisions and a much smaller harvest than we’d hoped for. Now, finally, things get a little quieter.

The 2026 Shiraz is in barrel. From here, time gets to do its part. 🍷

The Southern Rhône is a region of contrasts. From the foothills of the Luberon to the limestone and scrublands of Côtes-du-Rhône, the landscape shifts, and the wines shift with it.

Grenache runs through all three of the pairs we’re sharing this week, sometimes red, sometimes white. Around it, different places, blends and styles tell their own version of the region.

It’s a lovely part of France to travel through by bottle: familiar threads, but never quite the same wine twice.

So, for a little winter escape, we’ve brought together three pairs that show just how varied the Southern Rhône can be.

Winter Wine, one region at a time.

This week, we travel to the Roussillon, where high-altitude vineyards and dry, rugged country meet the Mediterranean.

It is a region shaped by a complex history, steep terraces and an extraordinary mix of soils. Black and brown schist bring warmth and depth. Gneiss gives freshness and minerality. Limestone and chalk add structure and balance.

That geological patchwork is what first drew Michel Chapoutier to Latour de France and led to the creation of Domaine de Bila-Haut.

Across the estate, Syrah brings wild herbs and spice, Grenache brings generosity and surprise, and Carignan brings mineral character and crisp tannins. Together, they shape the Vignes de Bila-Haut and Occultum Lapidem, two distinct expressions of the Roussillon.

Further south, around Collioure, Chrysopée explores another side of the region through Grenache grown on steep schist terraces close to the sea. The Blanc is textured, mineral and gently saline. The Rouge is finely structured, with dark fruit, violet, spice and silky tannins.

One region, many soils, and wines with very different stories to tell.
