Chateau de Raousset Chiroubles Bel Air

Airy and high-toned, this Chiroubles opens with tart red cherry, wild strawberry, and crushed raspberry, lifted by violet, dried herbs, and a cool breath of mountain stone. The palate is light-footed and precise, driven by brisk acidity and a fine, sandy tannin profile that frames the fruit without weighing it down. There’s a gentle granitic crunch and a touch of white pepper through the mid-palate, finishing fresh, floral, and quietly savory. A textbook Chiroubles—about elevation, energy, and clarity rather than depth, and all the more charming for it.
