Description
Guy Breton Chiroubles 2022
Beaujolais Cru | Old-Vine Gamay | Terroir-Defined Elegance
Nestled in Chiroubles’ iconic granite slopes of northern Beaujolais, this 2022 vintage showcases Guy Breton’s mastery of balancing tradition with innovation. Grown on 60+ year-old vines in steep, mineral-rich soils, the Gamay grapes develop intense concentration and acidity—hallmarks of this revered cru appellation.
Why This Stands Out
– Handcrafted Terroir Expression: Fermented with 30% whole clusters in stainless steel to preserve crisp red fruit (cherries, raspberries) and lifted spice notes
– Sustainable Legacy: Biodynamically farmed vines produce low yields (35hl/ha) for wines with unparalleled structure and aging potential
– Food Hero: Bright acidity cuts through rich dishes like coq au vin or aged Gouda while enhancing grilled salmon’s buttery notes
Palate Profile
Opens with a burst of fresh Morello cherry and crushed gravel aromatics. Mid-palate reveals subtle licorice undertones against a backbone of steely acidity. Finishes with a refreshing citrus zest that invites immediate sipping.
Optimal Enjoyment
Serve slightly chilled (58-62°F) in a tulip-shaped glass to concentrate its vibrant red fruit bouquet and flinty mineral core.
