Our Price
  • At the southern tip of Burgundy, where the geology shifts to a pink granite, Gamay, with its generous, juicy character, best reflects the terroir.
  • Annick Bachelet has mastered handling the old vine Moulin-a-Vent harvests, preferring to pick by hand, partially destem, and allow the wine to mature in both vats and barrels.
  • The 2020 bottling possesses the finesse and complexity of great cru Beaujolais and shows well at various serving temperatures in all seasons.

Country: France
Region: Beaujolais

Fresh, floral nose full of cherries and laced with some geraniums and rose hips. Juicy and dusty tannins coated with plenty of red plums and cherries on the palate. Rich and supple, yet fresh. Drink or hold.

Ripe and juicy, this is a structured wine with some firm tannins. It has blackberry fruits along with the solid texture. The wine needs to age, so drink from 2024.
