Coteaux Bourguignons Red 2022 | Wine from Domaine Chapuis & Chapuis

The brothers Romain and Jean-Guillaume Chapuis continue a long Burgundian winemaking tradition with their estate, created in 2009 under the name Chapuis & Chapuis. Initially based in Pommard, they moved to Ladoix to expand their production while adopting minimal intervention viticultural practices. Their vines, covering 4 hectares, are cultivated with respect for the environment, often using grapes from non-certified organic farming. Their wines, particularly the Coteaux Bourguignons, stand out for their aromatic freshness and high drinkability, truly reflecting the Burgundian terroir.

The Coteaux Bourguignons Red 2022 is a wine made from 100% Gamay, a grape variety emblematic of Beaujolais. Sourced from carefully selected grapes around Julienas, this wine thrives on granite soils at about 400 meters altitude. This particular terroir imparts a nice freshness and great aromatic complexity to the wine.

On the palate, it expresses intense red fruit aromas such as cherry, plum, and redcurrant. Its 5-month oak barrel aging adds a slight toasty touch while preserving the purity and deliciousness of the fruit. Unlike some Gamay wines, this one does not have coarse notes of banana or candy but offers a pure expression of the fruit.

• Color: Bright ruby red
• Nose: Aromas of cherry, plum, and redcurrant
• Palate: Fruity, with notes of cherry and plum. Nice freshness and balanced acidity. Subtly toasted touch from the oak barrel aging.

The Coteaux Bourguignons Red 2022 is a versatile wine that pairs perfectly with a wide variety of dishes, such as fine charcuterie, roasted or grilled white meats, traditional dishes like coq au vin, as well as soft cheeses such as camembert or brie.

It is also an excellent choice for an aperitif with friends, where its freshness and fruitiness will make an impression.
