It is thanks to caring, passionate and brilliant people that Beaujolais is finally recognized as such an important wine region today. Both David Chapel and Michele Smith Chapel’s careers are rooted in the finest culinary restaurants. The couple left their prestigious sommelier positions in New York to embark on a winemaking journey in the heart of Beaujolais. Their first vintage, the challenging 2016, was an immediate success that launched their name on the list of must-have producers. And it seems that the wines are only getting better. This unique interview is the perfect opportunity to understand winemaking through the minds of two accomplished sommeliers and winemakers.
