DESCRIPTION
Romuald Petit farms just 5 hectares in Beaujolais (plus 7 in the Macon), mostly in Morgon but also a tiny parcel in the Cru Chiroubles. The wines of Chiroubles grow at around 400 meters elevation, the highest in Beaujolais, and the height and weathered granite soils give Chiroubles lovely fruit and very smooth and mellow tannins. Like here!
This is a terrific warm-weather red, opening with bold aromas of Bing cherry, raspberry, crushed violets and a touch of granite dust. The big fruit notes continue on the palate - more cherry and red berries - with floral accents and a hint of something spicy that grows with air. The fruit is ripe, but not sweet, and the finish long and smooth. Easy-drinking delight here with or without food and will take a light chill on a hot, sunny, day.
