Beaujolais Rouge
Gamay
The Beaujolais rouge comes from two Gamay sites just to the south of Julienas sitting in the Beaujolais village appellation, the smaller an old parcel of Jules Chauvet. Winemaking is very simple with whole bunches kept in a mixture of stainless and concrete for two weeks before pressing. Has nice purity and some appealing pepperiness. Supple and drinkable with good purity and focus, and some grip. 10ppm added in the lead up to bottling with no other additions.
