Chiroubles ‘La Grosse Pierre’

A versatile red for charcuterie, roast or grilled chicken, tuna and soft cheeses. Its lighter body and fresh fruit make it an easy match where a bigger red would feel too heavy.

This is the domaine bottling, made from 3.5ha around the domaine at around 350m altitude.

Matured 8 months in stainless steel and concrete tanks.

Natural and traditional vinification using indigenous yeasts. Spontaneous fermentation with no sulfur added during this stage.

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!
