Tasting Notes
These are the highest vineyards in Beaujolais, with slopes often exceeding 30%. This guarantees freshness with the current climate changes. The vineyards are subject to arduous and meticulous work. The wine is notable for its smoky, woody nose, along with intense cherry aromas. The mouth feel is round and greedy with an elegant acidity. A wine with a distinctive character.
