Tasting notes

Commented by Olivier Poussier in the summer of 2024

Color : A beautiful ruby ​​dress with purple highlights

Nose : The nose is open with nuances of blackcurrant and red berries. The aromatic ensemble is underlined by the peppery note that the Gamay reveals, as well as by the graphite dimension of the terroir.

Palate : The palate is frank, sitting on a texture of half-power. The 2023 vintage is sapid, defined by this right balance between power and acidity. It is a classic vintage where the terroir of La Chapelle des Bois is recognizable by its usual tenderness and roundness.

Service temperature : 59°F
