Benoît Moreau works with half a hectare of mature vines in this steep granitic terroir of Chiroubles. Perched between Morgon and Fleurie at 400-plus metres above sea level, the vineyards of Chiroubles are the highest in Beaujolais. Benoît’s vines sit on the upper slopes and produce a bright and lacy Beaujolais. Benoît likes the transparency of amphora for this wine, which is then racked to stainless steel after one year. Moreau’s winemaking is more semi-Burgundian than semi-carbonic, and in 2023 all the fruit was destemmed. Thanks to the hail, he harvested only 10 hl/ha this year!
