Very good year for Beaujolais – fine and healthy. 25% Whole bunch. Quite a bit of acidity. (JR)

Offering up inviting aromas of blackberries, cassis and cherries mingled with hints of licorice and grilled meats, the 2018 Chiroubles is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and charming, with a generous core of lively fruit, tangy acids and fine, powdery tannin. This characterful, classically proportioned Chiroubles is a great success.
Scheduled to be bottled November 4, 2019, the 2018 Chiroubles is matured in 30-hectoliter foudres. It boasts plenty of blueberry and cassis on the lively, very pure nose. The palate is silky-smooth with succulent ripe blue fruit, offering lovely weight in the mouth and a long, tender finish.
