A beautifully fragrant Chiroubles, brimming with aromas of red cherries and violets. Elegant on the palate with velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity that carries the cherry and floral flavours onto the fresh finish.

Dominique has 18 hectares of vineyards across Beaujolais, which are planted on relatively low vigour granite soils. His Chiroubles vineyard is his highest altitude site and produces wine defined by a lovely freshness. All work in the vineyard, including harvesting, is done by hand.

The Gamay grapes were hand picked and carefully selected. Upon arrival at the winery the bunches were de-stemmed and gently pressed before undergoing fermentation at controlled temperatures. The wine was aged for a brief period in stainless steel before bottling.

This family-run winery based just north of Fleurie dates back to the early 1900s and has been run by current Winemaker Dominique Morel since 1967. Dominique’s philosophy is to make wines he likes to drink, with plenty of fruit, a good colour and a rounded mouthfeel.
