Domaine de la Grosse Pierre

Chiroubles Gamay from granite slopes in northern Beaujolais.

Domaine de la Grosse Pierre sits in Chiroubles, the northernmost cru of Beaujolais, where granite-rich soils and cool mountain air shape Gamay into wines of delicate structure and mineral precision. The winery's portfolio centers on Chiroubles—a region celebrated for its floral aromatics and silky tannins—with flagship bottlings including Chiroubles Claudius and Aux Craz Chiroubles. Both express the cru's signature elegance, while Fleurie Bel Air extends into the neighboring appellation, showcasing how Gamay adapts across Beaujolais's distinct terroirs. Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Decanter have all assessed the winery's releases, reflecting the quality and consistency of its approach to this noble Pinot Noir cousin.
