{"product_id":"2024-domaine-de-colonat-chiroubles","title":"2024 Domaine de Colonat Chiroubles Les Rochaux","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eChiroubles is the highest of the Beaujolais crus, and its altitude shows in the wines: high-toned, fragrant and distinctly lighter on the palate than most of its neighbours. The Rochaux terroir sits on a very steep, south-facing hillside of granitic sandy soils, where vines between 40 and 70 years old produce small, concentrated fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFully destemmed, 10 days of gentle maceration, eight months in concrete tanks. Complete destemming keeps things clean and precise, letting the aromatics speak without distraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFresh raspberry and cherry on the palate, with violet florals and a fine mineral thread from the granite beneath. The texture is light and airy, the acidity vibrant and refreshing, with a clean, lifted finish. It's gorgeous drinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe steep hillside and old vines give it considerably more depth than Chiroubles typically delivers, with definite mid-term cellaring potential to be had. A natural match for a whole host of cuisines, and a reminder that Gamay can be both delicate and genuinely compelling at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"There are always consumers with preconceived notions about Beaujolais wines, but today I take it as a game to convince them. I know our wines are appreciated, and I have confidence in their quality\"\u003cbr\u003e- Thomas Collogne (Domaine de Colonat owner\/winemaker)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/blockquote\u003e \n","brand":"Domaine de Colonat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43864056135723,"sku":"2024 Domaine de Colonat Chiroubles Les Rochaux","price":39.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2024DomainedeColonatChiroubles_594e6ed4-41c9-44ce-86f5-08d70ba79368.jpg?v=1789440351","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2024-domaine-de-colonat-chiroubles","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
