Benoît Moreau works with half a hectare of mature vines in this steep granitic terroir of Chatenay. Perched between Morgon and Fleurie at about 400+ metres above sea level, the vineyards of Chiroubles are the highest in Beaujolais. The vines sit on the upper slopes and, in general, produce a Beaujolais that is super bright and all “lacy texture and sleek charm”, to quote Gerald Asher. Benoît likes the transparency of amphora for this wine, which is racked to stainless steel after one year. Again, the winemaking is more semi-Burgundian than semi-carbonic, with only 30% whole bunches here. The 2022 is a super bright, floral and red-fruited wine with a lovely lick of fine tannins to close. Super Beaujolais!

Reviews

“Slightly less aromatic impact but more perfumed – great perfume. More mouth-filling and more tannic texture but still, like the nose, more perfumed fruit too. Delicious.”
Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report
“The nose offers vibrant red cherry and boysenberry fruit, hints of fresh fig and dates. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, well-balanced with a pleasant sapidity. There is gentle grip and a sense of structure on the finish. Very fine.”
89-91 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
“Grown at 420m altitude. Wild cherry aromatics. Slightly dry fruit behind at the moment but entirely due to youth, and amphora, with a sublime cherry and alpine strawberry finish. Striking, elegant wine.”
88-90 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
