Emile Cheysson

Chiroubles Gamay from Beaujolais's granite terroir, rated by major critics.

Emile Cheysson produces Gamay from Chiroubles, a cru within Beaujolais known for wines of finesse and mineral precision. The winery's portfolio centers on three expressions of this granite-based terroir: La Précieuse Vieilles Vignes, sourced from older vines; La Côte 400, a distinct parcel bottling; and the core Chiroubles cuvée. Gamay from this region typically shows red fruit clarity, silky tannins, and the kind of structure that rewards both immediate pleasure and modest cellaring. Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Wine Advocate have all assessed the winery's releases, with La Précieuse Vieilles Vignes emerging as the highest-rated expression across those critics.
