Domaine de Boischampt, Chenas 2024, Beaujolais
6 in stock
New ownership in 2018 recognized the domaine’s untapped potential—its prized blue stone soils, notably similar to those in Morgon’s renowned Côte de Py vineyard—and embarked on a transformation. Winemaker Thibaud Baudin, whose experience includes Domaine de la Vougeraie and Domaine d’Henri, was brought in to lead the revival. He initiated vineyard replanting, converted the estate to organic farming (certified in 2023), and took bold steps, including planting three hectares of Chardonnay rather than Gamay, convinced that the white grape could thrive here. Fermentations are spontaneous, with no fining or filtration, and sulphites are used only at bottling. The estate currently cultivates 15 hectares, with another 10 in development. The wines are fresh, focused, and unmistakably modern, promising an exciting future. This is serious Gamay with great fruit concentration and savoury notes.
