Chapuis & Chapuis

Top Line:

Brash, savage wines with wild fruit flavors contained in a sleek, shiny shell.

Background:

The winery was founded in 2009 by the brothers Chapuis.  Romain traveled the world (Lebanon, New Zealand, Australia) as a “flying winemaker” while Jean-Guillaume stayed in Burgundy managing the family vines.  

JT’s Take:

I am extremely intrigued by this estate.  The Chapuis & Chapuis project is specifically low intervention so classical Burgundy this is not but they are incredibly soulful.  They have stuffing.  They are visceral.  There is a feral complexity which feels like old-school Nuits St. Georges.
