Christophe Lapierre Chenas Vieilles Vignes Domaine de Chenepierre 2023 Region:Beaujolais The vineyards of this inland

The vineyards of this inland region look similar to the Austrian and Hungarian vineyards just a little bit to the north and east

Domaine les Aricoques Roussette de Savoie has reset the bar for what this grape can do in the Alpine foothills of Savoie

and only 20% of the wine is aged in oak

about halfway between St Emilion and Bergerac

but with plenty of raspberry and strawberry fruit

Christophe Lapierre Chenas Vieilles Vignes Domaine de Chenepierre 2023 Region:Beaujolais The vineyards of this inland"This has lightly spiced mineral character with wild berries, hints of juniper and violets. Medium bodied, it has polished texture, vivid acidity, a core of fleshy fruit and a round, medium long finish." 91 points James Suckling
