Intense, brilliant garnet red in colour. On the nose, finesse and elegance with notes of dried flowers and very ripe red fruits, and delicate tannins on the palate flowing into a salivating finish. All in all a silky, soft Fleurie with real precision and underlying concentration, giving it great length.

Following the death of our dear friend, Fernand Verpoix, in 2018, his family decided to sell their Chapelle des Bois vineyards to the new owners of one of Beaujolais most outstanding properties, Château de la Chaize. Christophe Gruy and his nephew, Boris (who is the head wine-maker) have decided to keep all their Fleurie parcels separate."…Pretty aromas of sweet berry fruit, spices rose petals & orange rind. Medium to full bodied, ample and perfumed with melting tannins and lively acid. It's pretty and delicate with lovely purity of fruit…" ROBERT PARKER, 90pts
