Chiroubles "Le Champ en Pente"

Story :
It is the highest of the Crus du Beaujolais. This wine is produced in a granite amphitheatre at an
altitude of 400 metres. Nevertheless, its altitude does not make it a late-ripening wine: it is often the
earliest and most "primeur" of the Crus du Beaujolais.

Tasting notes :
Its clear and brilliant robe is ruby red. On the nose, this wine is very aromatic. It gives off very fine

prominent. In the mouth, red fruit flavours are revealed. Liveliness and tenderness are the main
characteristics of this wine; a Cru so sweet.
