The wine region of Chiroubles
Highest cru of Beaujolais (270-600 m), ~278 ha of Gamay on exclusively granitic soils. Fine and fragrant signature reds with hallmark notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, peony, violet, rose petal and a hint of spice, silky tannins and thirst-quenching palate — nicknamed "the tenderest of crus", gourmand and friendly, drink young with charcuterie. Airy floral style. Altitude brings freshness and finesse.
The wine region of Beaujolais
Kingdom of Gamay (98% of the vineyard): fruity, accessible reds with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, banana (carbonic maceration), violet and sweet spices, supple tannins and juicy acidity. From festive Beaujolais Nouveau (3rd Thursday of November) to the 10 more structured, age-worthy Crus: deep earthy Morgon, sturdy Moulin-à-Vent, floral Fleurie, crunchy Brouilly. Some lively Chardonnay. 12,000 ha south of Burgundy, granitic soils.
The word of the wine: Destemming
Operation consisting in eliminating the vegetal part of the bunch supporting the berries, its maceration with the must giving a herbaceous taste to the wine.
