The Wine:
The Chiroubles Vieilles Vignes is sourced from the domaine’s oldest vines, aged between 40 to 70 years old, and involves three separate vinifications. The first utilises traditional carbonic maceration, the second a semi-carbonic maceration, and the last is a fermentation with fully destemmed grapes. The three resulting wines are aged separately for six to eight months before being blended and aged for another year in a bottle. The resulting wine is more complex than ‘Les Gatilles’, with pronounced structure and a density of expressive red fruit supported by fine tannins and refreshing acidity.
