Raphael Chopin Beaujolais Regnie 'Archambault' 2022

Named in homage to the Chopin family's first winemaker, Archambault opens with an alluring bouquet of ripe cherry and delicate floral aromas. On the palate, it makes a vibrant, refreshing entrance, showcasing a lively interplay of red and black fruits complemented by subtle savoury undertones.

Domaine Raphaël Chopin is located in the town of Lantignié in the heart of Beaujolais, encompassing seven and a half hectares of vineyards across three appellations. Raphaël’s family has a history of cultivating vines here since the 17th century. The tradition nearly ended with his grandfather until Raphaël decided to follow in his footsteps and rebuild the estate in 2009. Born on the 21st November, Beaujolais Nouveau Day, you might just call it fate that winemaking was in his destiny.

The organically cultivated (certified organic from 2023) estate grown Gamay grapes are hand-harvested from the Régnié appellation in Beaujolais. 12 to 15 days of maceration. Fermented in cement using indigenous yeasts. Aged for one year in 600L barrels on the lees, before filtration.
