Chiroubles Châtenay 2024

This parcel faces south. As its name suggests, it lies near woodland, encouraging biodiversity. The nose displays notes of oak ageing (toasted barrels) and forest floor. The palate is round and well balanced. Acidity emerges on the finish, bringing impressive length and retro-olfactory persistence.
