A concentrated cuvée that, on the nose, is somewhat reminiscent of a Ruby LBV Port, this Morgon delightfully evokes its terroir of origin: "Corcelette." A well-structured wine with noticeable tertiary notes. Quite simply, a wine for all occasions!

About the estate:
In the center of the village of Chiroubles, on the green balcony of Beaujolais, Christophe, a sixth-generation winemaker, cultivates 16.5 hectares, 14 of which are located in his own vineyard. Using (traditional) semi-carbonic maceration, he destems the grapes in plots where they are not fully ripe. He sells everything in bottles at a fair price, which is what Chiroubles should be sold for. However, we are surprised by the differences in style within the range, noting irregularities in the latest vintages.
