Chiroubles La Prieure 2017
About the wine
Jean Pierre Large introduces his special cuveé from Chiroubles past from generation to generation.
- Domaine Cheysson was founded in the 17th century by the monks of Cluny Abbey. The monks settled on the current site of the Estate, they cleared the hills to plant vines and build the cellar that we still use today.
- These vines located on extremely steep hillsides, facing due south give small yields but with wines of a beautiful aromatic complexity.
-
For fermentation, it is the yeasts from our region that ferment the wine. These bring authentic notes with very beautiful aromas and a nice complexity on the palate.The wine was then aged in stainless steel tanks, protected from oxygen, for more than 6 months to allow it to flourish.
It is now ready to be drunk now and will keep for three to four more years.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Naked Marketplace
Every week, on our travels or back at HQ, we come across wines that taste amazing but weren’t made for us by Naked winemakers
At the price and quality, we wouldn’t be doing our job if we didn’t make them available to you. So we list them without a winemaker or a story under Naked Marketplace
They’re generally parcels and one-offs, so once they’re gone, they’re gone!
