Daniel Bouland Chiroubles Chatenay Beaujolais 2023

Our Verdict

“Daniel Bouland sits squarely in the upper tier of Beaujolais producers. Bouland has steadily developed a dedicated following that makes his wines difficult to track down. They’re more than worth the effort given their consistent quality, which is about as high as it gets in Beaujolais. Even with increasing demand, the wines still deliver superb value, assuming you can find them. For the money, these are simply some of the greatest values in French wine today.” Josh Reynolds, Vinous 

Perched between Morgon and Fleurie at around 400 metres above sea level, the vineyards of Chiroubles are the highest in Beaujolais.

There is dichotomy here: grapes from a site that produces some of the gentlest wines in all of Beaujolais, crafted from a producer who seeks depth, structure and complexity. The results are marvellous. Like all of Bouland’s wines it is impeccably made and screams its terroir.

So much perfume here, woven with berries, flowers, earth and stoney scents. Already a model of irresistibility, it is overflowing with flavour and freshness.
