Chiroubles Gamay 2021

Same wine in the same vintage a couple of months after. Prior notes still apply very well.
A Non-intervention style Beaujolais with a bit of barnyard funk on the nose at first but superb ripe cherry notes right after. The palate is very well made, with a suberb cherry juice note, a great acid drive, some grippy tannins in the rear and a long and fruity finish with a tiny salty touch in the end. Right up my alley

Get up in the wine pool Beaujolais Nouveau Gamay

I love good Beaujolais! This is absolutely spectacular! I also love wine from many regions in France, especially Saint Emillion, de Bourg and especially Bordeaux and others. But this is unbelievable! — a year ago

Cuvee Claudius Chiroubles Gamay 2018

A. R.
9.1

This type of cru Beaujolais is what I love about this region, and the excellent QPR. On the nose, beautiful aromatics of rose petals and boysenberries, in the mouth cracked black pepper, rose hips, berries. High acid. Long finish. Light and yet mouth filling. Quite excellent. — 4 years ago

bel air Fleurie Gamay 2018

After the Chiroubles, I taste this second Cuvée from the Domaine; confirming the admirable know-how of these winegrowers who love a job well done. Biodynamic Fleurie which does justice to the appellation: nose of red fruits and cherries accompanied by rocky floral nuances and something that resembles peppermint. (Vintage effect?). The palate confirms this generosity, with a carbonic maceration that suits the Gamay grape so well, without being prominent here. The finish unfolds on roasted and typical sour cherry notes. It’s very greedy. Immediate pleasure at a very affordable price.

Après le Chiroubles, je goûte cette deuxième cuvée du Domaine; confirmant l’admirable savoir faire de ces vignerons amoureux du travail bien fait. Fleurie biodynamique qui fait honneur à l’appellation: nez sur les fruits rouges et griottes accompagné de roches nuances florales et quelque chose qui ressemblerait à la menthe poivrée. (Effet millésime?). La bouche confirme cette générosité, avec une macération carbonique qui sied si bien au cépage gamay, sans pour autant être proéminente ici. La finale se déploie sur des notes torréfiées et griottes typique. C’est très gourmand. plaisir immédiat à prix très abordable.
