Delicious, aged red Burgundy on sale for the weekend.
From parcels heavily infused with granite, the Fleurie “Grand Pré” is the classic, workhorse wine of this estate. From vines with an average age of forty years, this Fleurie undergoes a cuvaison between 10 and 15 days, the length of which depends on the underlying structure of the grapes from each specific vintage. The wine is generally supple, round and fruity and, although delicious in its youth, it can support several years of age, after which additional nuance is found in both bouquet and flavor.
Located in the heart of the Fleurie cru, Domaine de la Chapelle des Bois comprises nine hectares of vines, primarily in Fleurie, but augmented by smaller holdings in Chiroubles and Morgon. In the vineyards, Chantal and Eric followed the principles of lutte raisonnée, treating only when absolutely necessary in order to rescue a crop, and their tried-and-true no-fuss cellar methods—spontaneous fermentation, traditional semi-carbonic maceration in cement vats, and aging in large 50-year-old wooden casks—produced Beaujolais of vivid fruit, terrific freshness, and structure enough to develop well in bottle.
