2022 Chiroubles, Lafarge-Vial, Beaujolais

Description

There are two parcels here, on decomposed pink granite soil in the lieu-dit of Bel-Air. This is pretty, charming and forward, with crunchy red-berry fruit and a saline grip to the finish. This is delicious, refreshing Beaujolais at its best.

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 90/100

Mid purple colour. An attractive fresh bouquet. Floral and intensely fruity at the same time. Pitch perfect balance, remarkable fruit energy with deep cherries, and good acidity.

Drink 2024 - 2027

From vines planted in 1969.

Ripe and distinctly pepper-inflected dark berries lead to delicious middleweight flavours that possess good richness and generosity before concluding in a dusty, serious and moderately structured finale. Lovely.

Drink from 2029 onward

About this wine

Chiroubles

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.
