Yes ! We now make Red with a capital R from a superb terroir. How exciting ! Breath in the atmosphere : the hillside of Leynes (25%) facing full South at an altitude of 350 metres (1150 feet)… Here the old-style small berries of Gamay vibrate in a universe of granit. It is Magic ! It is how you feel when you are overlooking this beautiful Beaujolais region from up there. One could almost think the place is reminiscent of the Piedmont. The yield is very low (20 hl/ha) from grapes that are hand picked. Whole berries are partially crushed then macerate for 3 weeks. Then we get the free-run juice and press the grapes. The then assembled juices continue a slow maturation in casks for 18 months. Such an aroma ! Such a racy wine ! Our first ever red Vintage will need your indulgence; but, for the time being, do feel “Bien-Venu dans le Beaujolais” !!.
