Tasting Notes: An elegant Beaujolais made through semi-carbonic maceration in neutral oak barrels. The grapes are hand-harvested and come from over 100 year old vines. Fresh aromatics, with dominant red fruits and berries, a touch of spice and some smokey undertones. Juicy, mineral and easy-drinking, without being simple.
