Terroirs et Talents - Vin Chapelle des Bois Fleurie Beaujolais

Domaine de la Chapelle des Bois

Medals and awards	Appellation	Fleurie A.O.C.
	Colour	Red
	Grape Variety	Gamay noir with white juice. The oldest vines are more than 100 years old but on average they are 40 years old.
	Soil	Decomposed pink granite. A mix of sand and pebbles. The soil is poor in clay, meaning that it is very filtering. It results in a great maturity of the grapes.
	Wine making process	Typical Beaujolais wine making process. Entire grapes are put into a 10-12 days semi-carbonic maceration followed by an immersion with the use of a weighted grill with a continuous control of the temperatures. For half of the harvest, the maturing period (a few month) is done in oak vats.

Tasting	Dark crimson colour. Expressive nose with violet and iris aromas as well as blackcurrant and red berries. A lot of body, length and finesse.
Suggestions	Match perfectly well white meats, poultry and grilled tuna.
Ageing	Drink it young.
