After some time in New York, where, most recently, Michele was the Wine Director for Brooklyn Fare they moved back to Beaujolais to become vignerons. Their first vintage, 2016 Julienas Côte de Bessay, was vinified at Lapierre whilst they were still searching for their own cellars. In 2017 with their new family home and cellars in Régnié-Durette they started on the new vintage, introducing a Beaujolais Villages from fruit in nearby Lantignié from organically farmed vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe introduced Domaine Chapel to our portfolio with the Julienas, which saw its final vintage being produced in 2018. The wine quickly gained cult status and whilst we are sad to see it go, we are so excited to represent the Fleurie, Chiroubles, Moulin-a Vent, and Aligoté. Michele and David have spent thousands of hours over the last year working the land on these sites and the resulting wines are quite remarkable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavid and Michele started farming three plots in two different crus of Beaujolais: Chiroubles (Saint-Roch and Poullet) and Fleurie (Charbonnières) in January 2018.

The grapes are grown on a single parcel of land, sloped with marl and calcaire soil, giving the wine a unique citrus note.

These plots were selected to best show the terroir within a multivintage Champenois tradition, and with vinification and elevage the same for each parcel you are able to get the true identity of the site. Fermentation is 2\/3 in stainless steel, and 1\/3 in used barrels. Malolactic is left to either take place or not.

The vines are between 40 and 60 years old. From these two plots, Stéphane has selected three parcels for his cuvées: Chemin de Flavigny in Oger; Moulin, on the border between Oger and Le Mesnil; and Hautes- Mottes in Le Mesnil. These plots were selected to best show the terroir within a multivintage Champenois tradition, and with vinification and elevage the same for each parcel you are able to get the true identity of the site. Fermentation is 2\/3 in stainless steel, and 1\/3 in used barrels. Malolactic is left to either take place or not. Finally, when the time is right, the year’s wine is blended into one of three perpetual solera that each cuvée eventually is bottled from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach cuvée is named after a different jazz mode, a nod to Stéphane’s passion for playing the jazz saxophone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch6\u003eFARMING \u0026amp; WINEMAKING NOTES\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReminiscent of the Mixolydien musical mode, this cuvée is complex, balanced, and marked by a rare silkiness.
