Chiroubles is an appellation for the red wines of Beaujolais. Like all the red wines of the region, they are made from the Gamay Grape. It is one of the smallest of the 10 Beaujolais crus, with about 235 hectares of vines. The wine production area is on the Southeast facing hillsides just west of Beaujolais.
The appellation's Vineyard is located in the administrative commune of Chiroubles. It is roughly in the centre-west of the Northern Beaujolais crus. The commune shares a border to the south with Morgon and one to the north with Fleurie. Its Terroir is similar to that of the latter.
