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.

Critics reviews
Neal Martin 86/100

The 2022 Chiroubles feels a bit conservative on the nose, lacking the flair of this producer's Moulin-à-Vent. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly staid tannins, quite stoic for a Beaujolais. It pulls up a bit short on the finish.

This youthful wine from a high-altitude location needs some aeration to open. Cool, red currant nose, even some herbal freshness, which is rare for the 2022 vintage. Wild strawberry and floral notes develop. Quite sleek on the medium-bodied palate, but with a solid base of powdery tannins and just a hint of oak at the positively firm licorice finish. Sustainable.
