Chapuis et Chapuis Coteaux Bourguignons Rosé 2022
The Chapuis et Chapuis Coteaux Bourguignons Rosé 2022 is a small-production, natural-leaning Burgundy rosé that sits a bit off the beaten path compared to more famous regions like Provence. Here’s a clear, practical breakdown of what it is and what to expect.
🍷 Overview
Producer: Chapuis et Chapuis (two brothers based in Pommard, Burgundy)
Region/Appellation: Coteaux Bourguignons (a flexible Burgundy appellation allowing multiple grapes and sites)
Vintage: 2022
Grape: Typically Pinot Noir for the rosé (though the appellation can include Gamay too)
Style: Minimal-intervention / “natural-ish” winemaking (low sulphur, often unfined/unfiltered)
Alcohol: Around 12% (light, easy-drinking range)
👃 Tasting profile
This rosé leans toward a fresh, mineral, slightly textured Burgundy style rather than a super-light Provence rosé.
Typical notes:
🍓 Red fruits: strawberry, raspberry, white cherry
🍦 Subtle creaminess: sometimes described like “strawberry ice cream”
🪨 Mineral/stony edge (from Burgundy soils)
🌸 Light floral hints and citrus tones
On the palate:
Light-bodied but flavourful and persistent
Balanced between juicy fruit and crisp acidity
Clean, smooth texture with a slightly grippy, mineral finish
👉 In short: it’s fresh and easy, but with more depth and texture than many simple rosés.
🧑🌾 Producer style (important)
Chapuis et Chapuis are known for:
Organic or near-organic sourcing
Native yeast fermentation
Minimal additives
A focus on “pure, honest, fresh” wines
That translates to wines that can feel:
More alive and expressive
Slightly less polished than big commercial rosé
Sometimes a bit funky or savoury (depending on the bottle)
Chapuis et Chapuis Coteaux Bourguignons Rouge 2022
The Chapuis brothers grew up among the vines of Aloxe-Corton in Burgundy, and decided to finally start their own winery in 2008. They initially began working out of a small cellar in Pommard before building their own a year later in the commune of Ladoix-Serrigny in the Côte de Beaune. They currently farm approximately 4ha of land, which are spread out in various parcels among Chorey-lès-Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Aloxe Corton Premier Cru, Corton Grand Cru, and Corton Charlemagne. In addition to their holdings, Romaine and Jean-Guillaume also source fruit from like-minded growers. They are in their third year of organic conversion. All grapes are picked by hand, only native yeasts are used in the cellar, and they minimal sulfur is used only when absolutely necessary.
