Using a parcel-by-parcel approach, the estate has 23 cadastral parcels, spread across the Brouilly, Côte de Brouilly, Fleurie and Morgon appellations, and each parcel is vinified and aged separately to reveal its character and uniqueness.

Tasting notes
Beautiful ruby color. The palate is juicy, beautifully ripe, with a hint of sunshine, without being stewed. Red fruits enliven this palette with Burlat cherry, crushed strawberry, and some blackberry notes. The overall effect is legible with a touch of spice. The terroir of La Chapelle des Bois often offers us this palate profile: round and velvety. A luscious overall palate with polished tannins. A few fine bitters round off the tasting and remind us that we are on granite. Pairings with Cote de Boeuf
