Description

The Chiroubles appellation is the highest in the Beaujolais, located at 425m above sea level making it one of the last vineyard to be picked during harvest. It also contains the highest level of granite soils. Lovely bright black fruit on the nose with prune dominating, a slight reductive aspect to it at the moment. Great intensity on the palate coupled with high acidity, well balanced and a good tension.

About this wine

Gamay

A French variety planted predominately in Beaujolais where it is the grape behind everything from light and often acidic Beaujolais Nouveau through to the more serious and well-structured wines from the 10 cru villages. It takes its name from a hamlet just outside Chassagne-Montrachet and was at one stage widely planted on the Côte d`Or. However it was gradually phased out due to its poor yield and supposed poor quality of its wines.

Chiroubles

Situated at the highest point of the Beaujolais Crus, Chiroubles benefits from a cooler climate and granite-rich soils, imparting a unique character to its wines which are typically made using the Gamay grape variety. The area's steep slopes and sunny exposures contribute to the grapes' optimal ripening, resulting in wines that are typically vibrant, fruity, and delightfully approachable.
