Expertly crafted by Dominique Morel, the Chiroubles boasts a fragrant bouquet of red cherries and violets. Its velvety tannins and vibrant acidity enhance the cherry and floral flavours, leaving a refreshing finish. Perfect for buffets, charcuterie, and chicken and game dishes.

About the Producer

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. To sum up his philosophy, Morel says: "I make wines that I like to drink, with lots of fruit, good colour and a rounded mouth-feel''.

Vineyard and Winery

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 a 10 day fermentation at controlled temperatures. Aged for a brief period in stainless steel before bottling.
