Domaine de la Grosse Pierre Chiroubles ‘La Grosse Pierre’ 2022

Domaine de la Grosse Pierre, nestled within the elevated vineyards of Chiroubles in Beaujolais, France, is a testament to the region’s rich winemaking heritage. Under the stewardship of the Passot family, and particularly the dynamic Pauline Passot, the estate has garnered recognition for its commitment to producing elegant, terroir-driven wines. Situated on some of the highest slopes in Beaujolais, the vineyards benefit from unique climatic conditions and soil compositions, contributing to the distinct character of their Gamay wines. Emphasising a minimal intervention approach, the winemaking process involves wild yeast fermentation, semi-carbonic maceration, and gentle extraction, with ageing primarily in concrete tanks. With a growing focus on organic viticulture, Domaine de la Grosse Pierre crafts wines that express purity, finesse, and vibrant fruit, showcasing the unique nuances of Chiroubles, Fleurie, and Morgon crus.
