Domaine Cheysson 2006 La Precieuse Vieilles Vignes Gamay (Chiroubles)
- Editors' Choice
The wine comes from a parcel on the steep slopes of Chiroubles called Les Roches, appropriately enough with its very stony soil. It is a gorgeous, ripe wine, with light toast over the black fruits, ripe plums, cherries. The tannins are now soft, but still give weight to the rich, velvet texture of the sumptuous fruits.

Domaine Cheysson 2005 Cuvée Prestige Gamay (Chiroubles)
Made from old vines and aged in wood, this is a rich, dense, now mature wine. The bright red fruit is softened by the wood, rounded out, then balanced with tannins.
