日本代购-ガメ100種%。標高約425mにある「Verbomet(ヴェルボメ)/樹齢約60年」と「Châtenay(シャトネイ)/樹齢約35年」の区画の葡萄を使用。ボージョレで最も高い場所にある畑に属するので、温暖化が進む現在、この標高の高さは葡萄がフレッシュさを保つのに一役買っていますが、その分畑仕事も大変で手間が掛かります。急斜面の東向きの花崗岩土壌で合計約1ha、除梗は100%で熟成は50%樫樽、50%ステンレスタンクで行っています。サクランボや白い花のアロマ、フレッシュでジューシーな果実味、スグリのような爽やかな酸味、タンニンもしなやかでチャーミングな味わい。とてもフルーティで早くから飲めるタイプのワインです。カシス、リコリス、豊かなスパイス、そして甘い土の香りが魅力的なアロマを奏でる2020年のシルーブルは、ミディアムボディでしなやかで生き生きとしたワインです。果実の豊かな芯、溶けるようなタンニン、そして塩気のある余韻が特徴です。一見すると、このドメーヌのクリュの中で最も控えめな印象ですが、同時に、その魅力はまさに絶大です。≪パーカーポイント 91点!≫2020 Domaine de Vernus Chiroubles The Wine Advocate RP 91Reviewed by:William KelleyRelease Price:NADrink Date:2021 - 2027Attractive aromas of cassis, licorice, rich spices and sweet soil tones introduce the 2020 Chiroubles, a medium-bodied, supple and lively wine with a fleshy core of fruit, melting tannins and a saline finish. On paper, it's the most modest of the estate's crus, and yet it's also the most charming out of the gates. Domaine de Vernus was created in 2019 by Frédéric Jametton, who'd been looking to start a winery for some time: initially interested in the south, he became convinced it was too hot and landed on the Beaujolais after discussions with his friend, Guillaume Rouget of Flagey-Echézeaux, who agreed to come on board as a consultant. Jametton has pieced together some 12.5 hectares of vineyards, acquired from fully 12 different proprietors, and is gradually restructuring parcels that are overly difficult to cultivate, with a view to more sustainable farming in the future. Vinification is conducted along somewhat Burgundian lines: some 70% of the grapes are destemmed (though Jametton stresses that there are no hard and fast rules), fermentation takes place in stainless steel and élevage is in recently used high-quality Burgundy barrels for some 10–11 months. That imparts a smoky, toasty patina to the wines that certainly lends them a Côte d'Orien accent, and purists who can't stomach oak in their Gamay will find it obtrusive; yet the quality of the barrels means that their influence is more classy than vulgar, and I found the results quite persuasive. Certainly, the style is quite singular and represents a new and interesting expression for the region. Bottling is done seriously, with high-quality corks from M. A. Silva, so I suspect the wines will also evolve with grace. I'm looking forward to following Domaine de Vernus over the years to come.Published: Aug 05, 2022
