Chiroubles
Chiroubles sits in the middle of the Beaujolais cru district just to the south of Fleurie. This is the coolest district with the highest vineyard elevation of between 820 and 1480 feet. As such, it is the last district to begin the harvest. The granite soils on the slopes are so hard that vintners had to bore holes in the rock to be able to plant. The style of the wines is thought of as perhaps the most classic: aromatic, silky, and elegant.
