Daniel Bouland Chatenay Chiroubles '23

This Chiroubles from Daniel Bouland glows with a vibrant, translucent ruby red color. The nose is fresh and lifted, offering scents of red currant, pomegranate, and a subtle floral note. The palate is lean, racy, and tightly wound, defined by a crisp, electric acidity that carries pure, focused flavors of red berries. Its texture is light and precise, with a clean, mineral-driven finish that is incredibly refreshing. The specific granitic terroir of Chiroubles gives a wine of exceptional freshness and energy, made in a very pure style to highlight its crunchy red fruit and tension. Earning 91 points for its vibrant energy and precision, this is a superb value Cru Beaujolais, ideal with seared salmon, grilled quail, or salads.
