Beaujolais Blanc Fraîcheur de Laura
Beaujolais Blanc represents only 4% of the appellation. It is still a little-known wine. Its rarity makes it truly unique. The clay-limestone soils of the Pierres Dorées region are particularly well-suited to Chardonnay. This wine comes from the villages of Oingt, Bois d’Oingt, and Légny. It can be enjoyed young but also has aging potential of up to 5 years. It is distinguished by its aromatic freshness, which is why it bears the name of my daughter, Laura.
