Chiroubles 2022

This high-altitude terroir has the highest vines in Beaujolais. It's a guarantee of freshness in today's changing climate. On these steep slopes, the vines undergo arduous, meticulous work. The wine has a very delicate nose, with notes of black fruit mixed with floral aromas. The palate is round and pleasant, with the same blackberry notes detected on the nose. The finish is fine and elegantly acidic.
