Marie-Thérèse Chappaz.-Domaine Cappaz

« When heaven meets the earth to create the exception»

Madame Chappaz is from Martigny, Switzerland. At the age of 17 she got her first vignes as a present from her father. From 1997 on, she has been treating her vignes with the biodynamic agriculture, which I am personally a fan of.  I will certainly talk more about it in my future posts. she works and treats her vignes passionately. She is an inspiration of how nature gives us all wonderful gifts, and how humans can be the preacher of nature's desires resulting in magnificient creations. It was a really difficult decision to choose just one of her wines to present it to you; all of her wines have such a different and natural personality. This time my choice is :

Marie-Thérèse Chappaz is completely sure of her professional choice and has no regrets for being a winemaker; She regrets not having spent enough time in the vineyard as she wished because other tasks on her domaine. She confessed to me two of her big dreams: one is to produce a white wine without sulphites and second is to have more animals.  She recently accomplished one of her dreams with the acquisition of 2 horses .She would have preferred to revert on modern wine production and returned to a more holistic and natural method to make her wine; without any machines.  So now she picks up her noble grains one by one with her hands every year - so impressive.
