Vintage: 2022

Grape Varietal: Gamay

Farming: Organic, Unfined/Unfiltered, Low added SO2

It is the most mineral-intese wine in the range, expressing deep graphite, blood and iron notes in the palate. Ancient vines endow this wine with tremendous follow-through and sappy weight in the mid and back palate. Dried purple flowers and red rose decorate the nose alongside of scorched earth and sauvage. Bursting flavors of strawberry, raspberry, forest floor with a pleasant stone minerality. We recommend a slight chill.

VINIFICATION: Traditional "beaujolaise" vinification in concrete tank: natural yeast fermentation, semi-carbonic maceration, no sulfur in vinification (small amount added at the blend before bottling). Jean-Louis' motto in the cellar is "minimal intervention and maximum surveillance."

 

AGING: 60% in stainless steel and 40% in neutral barrel for 6 months, no fining or filtration, 10 mg/l SO2 added at blend just before bottling.
