Vintage Notes

2017 was a warm dry vintage followed by a hot spring and summer yielding ideal ripeness and lots of concentration.

Winemaking

Harvested by hand, the vinification is partially semi-carbonic capturing the classic fruit and liveliness of Beaujoias Village. After 8 to 12 days of maceration the wine finishes in tank for 6 months of aging.

Tasting Notes

Ruby in color, the bouquet exudes red fruit notes which are enhanced by delicious fresh flavors. Supple and delicate.
