Pauline Passot, a former sommelier, describes herself as a vigneronne passionnée, a passionate winegrower. She is the third technology of her household to farm and make wine in Chiroubles. This cuvée, La Grosse Pierre, is extremely floral and earthy, gentle and virtually delicate, typical of a Chiroubles, which is usually described because the lightest of the crus.

Jean-Paul Brun Terres Dorées Côte de Brouilly 2022, 12.5 p.c, $27
The iconoclastic Jean-Paul Brun is one among my favourite Beaujolais producers. In contrast to most, who make use of some type of carbonic maceration, wherein grapes are coated with carbon dioxide and start a course of akin to fermentation with out yeast, Mr. Brun ferments his wines conventionally, which, in Beaujolais, is sometimes called the Burgundian technique. He doesn’t contend that it’s higher, simply that it’s proper for his wines. This Côte de Brouilly is juicy and stony. It’s simple to get pleasure from now however will age nicely.

Pierre-Marie Chermette St.-Amour Les Champs-Grillés 2022, 13.5 p.c, $29
For generations, the Chermettes have been farming and making wine in southern Beaujolais. Over time, they expanded their property to the northern crus. This wine from St.-Amour, the northernmost cru, is bone dry, tapered and structured, although in no way heavy. You can get pleasure from it now with a dish like a roast rooster that can minimize the tannins, or give it a number of years of age. (Weygandt-Metzler)
