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
"The 2022 Chiroubles La Grosse Pierre has a generous, slightly candied bouquet with Morello cherries, orange liqueur and light blood orange scents. Vivacious! The palate is medium-bodied with finely hewn tannins, very well-balanced with beautifully integrated oak subtlety intertwined on the finish. This is a classy Chiroubles that will be approachable young but also has the substance to age." Neal Martin
Food Pairing
