Grosse Pierre Chiroubles Aux Craz 2019 Bottle size: 750ml
France, Beaujolais
R410
'The 2019 Chiroubles Aux Craz derives from a quite different spot: higher in altitude, south-facing as opposed to east-facing and richer in rock rather than sand. It’s the most mineral, ethereal wine in the range, bursting with aromas of peonies, blood orange, rose and strawberry. Medium-bodied, satiny and precise, with lively acids, melting tannins and a saline finish, it’s showing beautifully. Drink 2021-2029.' – William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 93/100
'The 2019 Chiroubles Aux Craz is aged for 15 months in concrete vat. Brambly red fruit, cranberry and red currant feature on the nose, which displays impressive vigor and a touch of orange peel coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red cherries and wild strawberry and good depth. A little grippy toward the finish, with a welcome dab of spice on the aftertaste. Enjoy this well-crafted Chiroubles over the next 4–5 years. Drink 2021-2026.' – Neal Martin, Vinous, 90/100
