Domaine Chapel 'Charbonnieres' Fleurie

Domaine Chapel 'Charbonnieres' Fleurie

Regular price $42.00

100% Gamay from a lovely Domaine run by a disciple of Domaine Lapierre and his American wife, sommelier Michele Smith (who is from Connecticut!). This vin natural Cru Beaujolais shows lovely tension apparent from the winemaker's employing semi-carbonic fermentation in wine of very old vines...captivating and delicious. Pair with roasted duck breast or something similarly crave-worthy on a school night. Tart cherry sauce? Absolutely!

Details

From our importer: The lieu-dit, Charbonnières, sits at 460 meters (1,500 feet) in altitude and faces directly east. The parcel is planted to high density, free-standing, gobelet vines. The Charbonnières climat is nestled in the forest and the aspect is formed as an amphitheater high up in the mountains of Beaujolais. The bordering forest forms a natural clos around the parcel. It’s an east facing parcel with part of the vineyard facing north and the other side facing south. The land has been farmed organically for nearly 20 years and is by far the most labor intensive of all their parcels. The vine age varies and the oldest vines are over 60 years old while the youngest were replanted 30 years ago. Granite rock forms the bedrock and the soil is a mix of granitic sand, various weathered rock fragments, and igneous rock. Semi-carbonic maceration about 21 days, indigenous yeast, no SO2 added and aged in cuve for about nine months.
