- PRODUCER NOTES
- FARMING & WINEMAKING NOTES
If ever there was a story to tell about a Domaine then this is it. David was born into high-end gastronomy, his father being the great Alain Chapel - patriarch of the nouvelle cuisine movement in France. Michele ran the wine program for various starred restaurants in New York. They met in Beaujolais when Michele was visiting producers and the rest is history. Domaine Chapel have recently introduced the Smith-Chapel wines and are made using fruit sourced from high altitude parcels on the slopes of Beaujolais and the nearby Maconnais region.
All winemaking is very low extraction, with carbonic maceration, no pigeage, and no punching down: just keeping the cap wet. The style here is really elegant, and as Chapel gains more experience and makes more wine, this is a Domaine to watch.
