Domaine de la Grosse Pierre
Domaine de la Grosse Pierre is located on the granite slopes of Chiroubles in the heart of Beaujolais vintages. This family estate was created by my grandfather Georges Passot in the 1960s, succeeded by my parents Alain & Véronique in 1979 and since 2018 it is my turn, the third generation! After various experiences in sommellerie in France and abroad I decided to come back to my native land in Chiroubles. Today we cultivate 9 ha of vines on three crus which break down as follows: 7.7 ha of Chiroubles, available in four cuvées. 0.8 ha of Morgon 0.5 ha of Fleurie With the unique grape variety: Gamay Noir with white juice. My philosophy: Wines in the purest expression of their terroir!
Description
Chiroubles Aux Craz 2020, this terroir of the heights, magnified by the entire harvest, places mauve flowers (lilies and lilacs) in the foreground. In its structure we find through a fresh tannin all the tactile frame of the floral-vegetal of the vintage. Grille-Midi chiroubles, tasty like a bowl of black cherries au jus.
