"This medium-bodied, fresh and crisp red has aromas and flavors of fresh raspberries, red tea leaves and crushed stones. Mineral and chalky finish. Try in 2026."

"A blend of young vines and 60-year-old vines, the 2023 Chiroubles Aux Côtes is juicy, following a rounded, ovoid progression with an expansive mid-palate flavored with accents of just-overripe raspberries, cherries, lilac petals and sweet spice, lifted with bright acidity. Fine-grained sandpaper tannins emerge more prominently on the back end, narrowing the wine and imparting a lingering textural residue."
