A textbook blue stone Brouilly style Beaujolais-Villages from one of the great women winemakers in France. Beautiful purity of gamay noir fruit – meets cement ageing – showcasing the unique expression of Beaujolais that cannot be reproduced anywhere – but here!

AOP Beaujolais-Villages : Beaujolais Villages is produced in part of the Beaujolais vineyard. It’s the first appellation in France to use the term “villages”. In 38 municipalities of the Rhône and Saône-et-Loire, and 3 geographical zones with marked specificities, these fruity and fleshy wines reflect the characteristics of their terroirs. The vines are often planted in altitude and on hillsides. These delectable red wines mark a kind of transition between Beaujolais, in the south and the ten crus further north.
