Tasting

by Véronique Boss-Drouhin

Chiroubles is not a "fussy" wine! On the nose, characteristic aromas of peony and cherry. In the mouth, it is well structured and fleshy. Tannins are present, but not harsh. The roundness of the grape varietal is very much in evidence.

Vintage

2020 is a nice vintage which provided wines of nice intense colours. The nose and the palate are characterized by black fruits such as blackberry, cherry, mingling with liquorice and spices. The wines are rich and dense, which can offer a good ageing potential to some appellations.
