Karim Vionnet Vin de Kav Chiroubles 2014

Being neighbor with Morgon stars Lapierre, Foillard and Breton, it must be inspiring to be around them! Since he also worked with Guy Breton, his experience did help when he started making his own wines back in 2006. No addition of yeast, sugar, sulfur of other “ingredients”. His wine are made in the most natural way possible!

Here is my tasting note on his Chiroubles:

Cherry red color. Typical fruity nose of Gamay wines with explosive red berries, earth and spices with just a hint of funkiness. Pure red fruit expression on the palate with crushed rocks and a finish with black pepper notes. Highly enjoyable and thirst quencher, this is a great Beaujolaiswine! Very good (89)

Made of Gamay. Natural winemaking. Aged 9 months in oak barrels. Alcohol level of 12%

Quite dark purple color showing the warm vintage. Very aromatic with fruity, floral and earthy notes. Dense on the palate with a texture close to the one of biting into berries that leads to a spicy explosion. Good from now and for many years more as this wine has the depth to last and what it takes to be enjoyed today. Drank that bottle over a week just to see it evolve and it stayed stale all that time. Very good+ (90)

Made of Gamay from vines planted on very sloped hills (40% angle of inclination) Aged in tanks and large oak barrels for 6 to 9 months. Alcohol level of 13,5%

Dark red cherry color. Nose of crushed red berries, spices, flowers, it’s pure, it’s naturally made Gamay! So good, chewy and refreshing on the palate and the bottle was gone so fast, which is usually a good sign! Flavors of red berries, cherries, flowers and red meat. Good acidity, quite long finish, to me, that was good. Very good + (90)
