The Daniel Bouland Chiroubles Chatenay 2023 is a stunning example of Beaujolais' high-altitude charm. Sourced from a 0.65-hectare parcel of 35- to 45-year-old vines planted on the steep slopes of Chatenay, this wine showcases the finesse typical of Chiroubles, with a touch more power in the exceptional 2023 vintage. The granite and yellow sandstone soils give the wine a mineral backbone, while the north-facing site, protected by a nearby forest, helps preserve freshness and allows the fruit to ripen perfectly. With its fleshy texture, sweet cherry flavours, and spice-laden finish, this wine is irresistibly drinkable. While it is absolutely delicious now, it will also age gracefully. A fantastic expression of Chiroubles that pairs well with a wide range of foods.

Bouland has once again delivered a Chiroubles with stunning finesse and balance. The 2023 vintage offers excellent fruit concentration, minerality, and a delightful peppery finish.
Daniel Bouland is one of Beaujolais’ more elusive yet highly respected growers, known for producing wines that are rich, deep, and full of character. His style is deeply rooted in tradition, using old-school winemaking techniques with minimal intervention. Bouland works with small, gnarled, old vines, many over 60 years old, and produces his wines with an emphasis on natural, whole-bunch fermentation. His dedication to authenticity and craftsmanship has made his wines some of the most highly sought after in the region, with a growing cult following.
Bouland’s philosophy is simple: produce wines that authentically express the Beaujolais terroir while remaining true to traditional winemaking methods. His approach is centred around minimal intervention—no fining or heavy filtration, and a reliance on natural yeasts to drive fermentation. The result is a raw, pure wine that conveys the essence of the land and the true character of the Gamay grape. Bouland’s wines are crafted for longevity, often requiring years of ageing to fully develop their complexity and depth, though they can be enjoyed in their youth for their vibrancy and freshness.
The nose opens with vibrant aromas of fresh cherry, balanced with subtle spice and mineral notes. There’s a delicate mix of floral nuances and earthy depth, providing an inviting complexity that draws you in.
On the palate, the wine is smooth and supple, with juicy cherry flavours that are balanced by bright acidity. A slight mineral edge adds complexity and freshness, while hints of spice and subtle earthy undertones add depth to the wine’s mid-palate. The texture is fleshy and smooth, making each sip incredibly satisfying.
The finish is long and spicy, with a peppery close that lingers on the palate. The fresh fruit character remains, and the wine’s balance of fruit, acidity, and minerality ensures that it’s incredibly drinkable and refreshing.
