Karim Vionnet's Chiroubles is a high-altitude Gamay, ethereal and vibrant, made from 40-60 year-old vines rooted in granite and schist. This cru, the highest in Beaujolais, offers an almost mountainous freshness that Vionnet preserves with minimal intervention and minimal sulfur. The palate is vertical and crisp, a concentration of small red fruits, violets, and a mineral trail reminiscent of wet stone. Aged in used barrels to preserve its purity, it is an agile, profound, and magnetically drinkable wine: the most elegant and vibrant soul of the French terroir.
