The estate and the wine
Wine From 2.5 hectares of 70-year-old vines planted on granite soils and raised without any oak influence, the 2024 Beaujolais Le Beaujolais Red offers a beautiful introduction to the estate’s style. The nose reveals an especially open, fresh fruit profile, bursting with raspberry, violet, and a hint of spice. On the palate, it’s remarkably elegant with silky, almost invisible tannins, delivering a smooth, juicy, and highly approachable wine.
Vinification Hand harvested and carefully sorted. Vines aged 70 years on average, covering 2.5 hectares of acidic, poor granite soil. Traditional Beaujolais semi-carbonic maceration without SO2 or yeast, lasting 10 to 21 days. Aged in vats for around 6 months.
Certified organic wine.
