Domaine Chapel is a small, family-run estate dedicated to crafting pure, terroir-driven wines in Beaujolais. The domaine was founded by David and Michele Chapel, who bring a Burgundian sensibility to their winemaking, emphasizing organic farming and minimal intervention in the cellar.
- WINEMAKER: David & Michele Chapel
- FARMING: Organic (practicing for nearly 20 years)
- VARIETY: Gamay
- TERROIR: The lieu-dit Charbonnières sits at 460 meters (1,500 feet) in altitude, nestled within a natural amphitheater in the mountains of Beaujolais. The vines, planted in high-density, free-standing gobelet formation, are surrounded by a forest that creates a natural clos. The soil is a mix of granitic sand, weathered rock fragments, and igneous rock over a granite bedrock. The oldest vines are over 60 years old, while the youngest were replanted 30 years ago.
- VINIFICATION: Semi-carbonic maceration for approximately 21 days using indigenous yeast. No SO₂ added.
- AGING: Aged for about nine months in cuve (tank).
- TASTING NOTES: Bright red fruit, floral aromatics, and crushed granite minerality. Delicate yet structured, with lifted acidity and fine tannins.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Roast chicken with herbs, mushroom risotto, charcuterie, or grilled salmon.
