The Details

100% Gamay from 55-65 year old-vines planted in a 1.1 hectare parcel from “Côte de Besset” on the hilltops of Saint-Amour. Blue stone, mica schist and sandstone scree soils. 13%ABV

From the importer:

As part of the “Grapes from our Friends” series, grapes from this vineyard are purchased “on the vine” - hand harvested by the Bertrands’ team and rigorously sorted at the vineyard into 300kg bins. Yields are managed to achieve the ripest and healthiest harvest possible. Fermentation is performed through cold carbonic maceration for 17 days. No pump overs, no added sulfites, and exclusively indigenous yeast. Aged in 225 liters used barrels for 8 months. Racked and bottled at the property without filtration and in harmony with the lunar cycle.

About Beaujolais

Wines from Beaujolais, a charming region in eastern France, are celebrated for their joyful and exuberant character. The star grape of the region is Gamay, and it shines brilliantly in the hands of Beaujolais winemakers. These wines are best known for their fruity and vibrant nature, marked by red berry, cherry, and floral aromas, often accompanied by a subtle earthy quality. Beaujolais Nouveau, released just weeks after harvest, is a beloved tradition that showcases the region's youthful and fresh expressions. Beyond Nouveau, Beaujolais offers a spectrum of styles, from the light and quaffable Beaujolais-Villages to the more complex and age-worthy Crus like Morgon and Fleurie. Beaujolais wines are celebrated for their food-friendliness and the sheer pleasure they bring to the table, making them a delightful choice for both casual sipping and pairing with a wide range of cuisines.
