Vintage Notes
2016 is a classic Beaujolais Vintage: fresh Spring, hot Summer with low rains. Then a sunny and fresh September. Harvest started late, end of September, and finished October 10th.
Winemaking
Gamay grapes are picked and quickly sent to the cellar. In tanks, extraction is done by daily pump-overs. Fermentation is temperature controlled. After 8 to 12 days of maceration, a slow pressuring occurs. Then wine finishes its fermentation in tanks before a 6 month ageing before bottling.
Tasting Notes
A ruby-colored robe. The bouquet exudes red fruit notes which are enhanced by delicious, fresh flavors and a supple, delicate texture in the mouth.
