This light-bodied red features clear profiles of crunchy red cherries, wild strawberry, and fresh purple blossoms, balanced by subtle hints of mild baking spice and white pepper. The palate focuses on pure berry flavors and a lively texture. Soft, low-intervention tannins and a crisp, refreshing acidity carry the wine through to a clean finish marked by a subtle touch of salinity.
Hand-harvested fruit from 45-year-old vines undergoes a traditional whole-cluster fermentation in cement vats using native yeasts. Following the estate's natural approach to vinification, the juice undergoes fermentation without any additives, enzymes, or added sulfur. The wine is lightly filtered and bottled with minimal sulfur to keep the style light, vibrant, and highly refreshing.
Sustainably farmed vines sit on rolling, granite-rich hillsides in the southern part of the Beaujolais-Villages AOC. This well-draining granitic terroir, combined with a mild continental climate, prevents rapid sugar accumulation, allowing the Gamay grapes to retain the high natural acidity and bright fruit profiles essential for this style.
