2022DomaineChapelChiroubles,Beaujolais,France

<p>This wine is being poured in our Bojo Party and will arrive Tuesday Novemeber 26th. </p><p>With its steep slopes, high altitude parcels, and sandy granitic soils, the cru Chiroubles has more in common with the Northern Rhône than any other region in France. The Chapels now have just under three hectares of vines in the lieux-dits, Châtenay, Saint-Roch and Poullet. Each parcel comprises about one hectare of vines of various orientations, planted to high density, gobelet trained vines. In each parcel, the soil is a blend of pink granite, sandstone and various weathered magmatic rock fragments. Because of the steepness of the slopes, the soil is worked manually with a cable plow and hand tools. In certain parts of the parcel, where it is not too sandy, the soil is cultivated by horse.</p>
