2021 Domaine Raphael Chopin, Regnie 'La Ronze', Beaujolais, France
$22.00
Located in Lantignié in Beaujolais is Domaine Raphaël Chopin, a property
of about five hectares of vines in Morgon, Régnié and Beaujolais Villages.
The Domaine is made up of young vines planted in 1989, which are next
to the oldest, gnarled vines planted in 1905. Raphaël’s philosophy is to
be respectful of the terroir and the vines in order to offer the best of each
vintage. He practices lutte raisonée, and most of the treatments used in
the vineyard are of natural origin, such as sulfurs and copper. Vinification
is semi-carbonic at a low temperature. Chopin only adds a minimal amount
of sulphites, does not filter, and uses only native yeast. In five years, the
domaine will be certified organic.
