2019 Guy Breton Chiroubles Cuvée Léa
All wines stored at 55° and 70% humidity
Chiroubles is sourced from 60-year-old vines in the lieu-dit of Javernand, where we see a more sandy form of granite. The high elevation and soil here give a decidedly ethereal expression of Gamay.
About Guy Breton
Guy Breton, or Petit Max as his friends call him, is the member we hear about the least in the Gang of Four. They followed Jules Chauvet's critical teachings on natural viticulture and non-interventionist winemaking. I can turn to a few names for truly mineral-driven personality in this region, including Guy Breton, whose wines show the greatest levity and fine-grained structure.
