Les Beaujolais Beaujolais Origine - Vieilles Vignes

The wine is emblematic of the estate where, from 1986, we wanted to bring back the Beaujolais of yesteryear. This cuvee is crafted to pure Beaujolais tradition: it does its Easter duty in big oak tuns, is fined using egg white, it is not chaptalized and undergoes only the lightest of filtering. The lively, intense fruitiness is very close to the grape itself. Concentration and freshness in the mouth make this a Beaujolais with character.
