Domaine de La Grosse Pierre Chiroubles red 2023

La Revue du Vin de France - May 2025 - Special Edition Collection No. 3 : 91/100. "Pauline Passot confirms to be one of the driving forces of Chiroubles. There is a technical mastery, without falling into a clinical style, quite the opposite: whole-cluster harvest, low SO2, indigenous yeasts. The result is delicious, both spontaneous and deep."

The Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (K. Wells, March 2025) : 90/100. The 2023 Chiroubles La Grosse Pierre offers vibrant aromas of red and black cherries interwoven with delicate floral tones and vine smoke. Medium to full-bodied and with bright acidity, it delivers a juicy fruit-infused palate. The wine has an open-weave structure of tannins, lending a fluid, elegant mouthfeel. This is highly recommended for those who appreciate a more refined expression in their ready-to-drink Beaujolais selections. DRINK DATE 2025-2030.
