Domaine Descombes Chiroubles Cru Beaujolais 2020 – Organic Old-Vine Gamay

Experience the elegance of Burgundy’s hidden gem with this 2020 Chiroubles Cru Beaujolais from renowned producer Georges Descombes. Crafted from 50+ year-old Gamay vines grown on granite-rich slopes, this organic (uncertified) wine showcases the purity of traditional Beaujolais winemaking.

Artisanal Winemaking

  • Old-Vine Intensity: Hand-harvested from mature vines in Chiroubles’ hilly terroir, yielding concentrated fruit flavors.
  • Natural Fermentation: Whole-bunch, semi-carbonic maceration with native yeasts—zero added sulfur during vinification.
  • Extended Aging: Matured over 12 months in used Burgundy barrels for added complexity, bottled unfined/unfiltered.

Tasting Profile

Expect vibrant red fruit (strawberry, raspberry) with earthy granite minerality, silky tannins, and a refreshing 13.5% ABV. The red wax-sealed bottle (distinct from Descombes’ Brouilly label) makes it a collector’s standout.

Perfect For: Organic wine enthusiasts, Burgundy lovers seeking value, or pairings with charcuterie and roasted poultry.
