This is an amazing grand-cru Beaujolais that is quite concentrated and robust – a haunting red that could use some time in a decanter to truly, totally shine. From Julie Balagny who works ~8.2 hectares of farmland (vines, woodland, prairie) spread across Fleurie and Moulin-a-Vent.
Vinification: 100% Gamay hand-harvested from 100+ year-old vines grown in decomposed pink granite and quartz soils from one of the highest elevations in the Moulin-a-Vent grand cru of Beaujolais. 12-18 months élevage before bottling unfined, unfiltered with no additional SO2.
