Domaine de la Chapelle des Bois Chiroubles

Lifted and transparent, this Chiroubles opens with tart red cherry, alpine strawberry, and crushed raspberry, accented by violet, dried thyme, and a cool wash of granitic stone. The palate is light-bodied but finely etched, driven by brisk, mouthwatering acidity and a delicate dusting of sandy tannins that give just enough shape. There’s a quiet savory note—white pepper, wet earth—that carries through the mid-palate before a clean, floral, mineral finish. A classic high-elevation Beaujolais, all about clarity, air, and gentle persistence rather than weight.
