Winemaker(s): Maison Aujoux / Jacques Dépagneux — long-established négociants specialising in terroir-driven, approachable wines from Burgundy and Beaujolais. Their philosophy: wines made for pleasure, clarity and regional expression.

Winemaking: Soft extraction, minimal oak influence, and a focus on fresh fruit and purity. Made for early drinking rather than long ageing.

Name Meaning: “Cadole” refers to the small stone huts found in vineyards; “du Chapitre” hints at monastic stewardship of historic parcels — together signalling heritage and place.

Interesting Fact: Bourgogne Gamay sits at the meeting point of Burgundy and Beaujolais — a category offering some of the best value in red Burgundy today.

Serve With: Charcuterie, pâté, roast chicken, pork tenderloin, mushrooms, pizza, grilled sausages, soft to semi-firm cheeses.

When to drink at Christmas: Christmas Eve. Especially if, like us, you’ll have Beef Bourguignon.
