Overview
Domaine des Pothiers' "La Chapelle" is a distinctive and powerful expression of Gamay Noir, crafted from the unique "Saint Romain" clone in the Côte Roannaise, located to the northwest of Lyon. This wine stands out for its remarkable depth and concentration, making it a true flagship offering from the estate. The Côte Roannaise region, with its Burgundy-like profile, imparts a savoury complexity that differentiates this wine from typical Beaujolais expressions. Domaine des Pothiers’ commitment to organic and biodynamic practices ensures a wine that is not only a reflection of its terroir but also of sustainable, hands-on winemaking.
Tasting Notes
La Chapelle presents a deep, dark ruby colour with an alluring bouquet of red and black fruits, accented by earthy, savoury notes of spice and subtle floral undertones. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, showcasing layers of ripe red berries, fine tannins, and a vibrant acidity. The wine’s natural concentration and depth lead to a long, smooth finish, where hints of minerality add further complexity. With its rich flavours and impeccable balance, this wine is a perfect pairing for roasted meats, rich cheeses, or earthy vegetable dishes.
