Collection: Domaine Chapel
Domaine Chapel is a Beaujolais estate founded by husband and wife team David Chapel and Michele Smith-Chapel in the Cru village of Régnié. The pair met in Beaujolais whilst David was working at Domaine Lapierre in 2013. After living together in New York, the Chapels returned to Beaujolais to start Domaine Chapel. They produced their first wine - a 2016 Juliénas “Côte de Bessay” - in partnership with Mathieu and Camille Lapierre, winemakers and owners of acclaimed Morgon estate Domaine Lapierre.
Currently farming 4 hectares of vines on the slopes of Beaujolais, Domaine Chapel is divided between the crus Chiroubles and Fleurie. Working by hand, in organic agriculture, the focus is always to promote the health of the soil and work with respect for the natural environment.
Domaine Chapel has recently introduced Smith-Chapel wines, an exploration of high-altitude parcels located on the slopes of Beaujolais and the nearby Mâconnais region. They partner with growers who work with respect for the land they care for, who are either already certified organic or are in the conversion period.
We love their wines for their finesse, purity & downright tastiness.
