Tasting Notes: This is a delicious and deeply mineral palate pleaser that seduces to lusty carousing. "Joli jus" is what the French would say to it! The name "Raisin Libre", loosely translated: the "free grapes", is a symbol of the new Beaujolais: a cry of freedom from the shackles of the unspeakable Primeur plague, which ruined the reputation of the region for decades.

Tasting Notes: Intense red color with purple hues. In the nose, there are ripe cherries, a touch of almond and a little cinnamon. It’s not too sweet, though, thanks to a leafy, peppery note in the background. On the palate it is immediately pleasant and juicy, with a nice fresh acidity and a minerality to contrast the sweet fruit.

Tasting Notes: 100% Pineau d’Aunis from 10 year old vines. 20% whole bunch, macerated for 16 days in tank. Aged for 10 months in old barrels. Bottled by gravity. Zero SO2. This goes into the light-medium category. The perfume is incredible. It's expressive and so inviting. It's clean, gentle and pure, and offers red roses, strawberries, wild forest, gentle spice and an assortment of red fruits. Everything about it is refined. It's a dream to drink this. The flavours are so well balanced. The fruit is quite crunchy, and while it is light and easy, it displays depth and has very gentle tannins. Its premium fine boned structure adds to its detail and complexity. It's very clean, and very well made. The smell is so pleasant, and it evolves beautifully. Delicate incense and white pepper chime in. Whether you are a fan, or are new to the variety, this is a must try

Tasting Notes: The Sinfonia di Rosso is all Nerello Mascalese and is farmed biodynamically. The grapes are from clay soils up at an elevation of 220 meters to receive those cool sea breezes then it is fermented with native yeasts in steel and aged for seven months in neutral chestnut barrels. This is an island wine in name and taste. Notes of red berries, Mediterranean herbs, toasty scents, and hint of salt on the long finish it is a wine that one can tell is crafted by a master.

Tasting Notes: Baptiste Cousin's "Ouech' Cousin" is a real treat. With a Grolleau in carbonic maceration, one can expect something a little too "light"... Here, of course, one finds that suppleness, crisp red fruit and the freshness typical of this grape variety, but the mouth remains silky, delicate and ripe, proof of a healthy harvest harvested at maturity. The Domaine Batossay still offers a wine of disconcerting ease but which does not lack depth.
