Beaujolais Villages - Nouveau
This wine is the joy of a whole region bottled. Brimming with wild fruit, blackcurrant and blackberry, it is happiness itself in a fruity supple wine with no jarring tannins.
Description Grape variety : 100% Gamay Terroir : Sandy and granitic Altitude above sea level : 190 metres Vineyard of origin : round the château Alc. by vol. : 12.2° Yield per hectare : 52 hectolitres Serving temperature : 12-14° C Area (ha) : 8 Cellaring potential : Enjoy it young to make the most of the aromas and flavours Beaujolais-Villages was the first appellation in France to use the term “villages” in its name. There are 38 communes in the Rhône and Saône-et-Loire departments that label their wines “Beaujolais-Villages”. The wines here are fruity and fleshy, a reflection of the terroirs they come from. The soils are granitic and sandy. Beaujolais-Villages has a deep robe with cherry or garnet tints and a red fruit nose with blackcurrant and strawberry at the fore. A third of the wine from here is sold as Beaujolais-Villages Nouveau. Vinification Careful hand harvest and temperature control on arrival at the vatroom. The grapes are warmed to 65° C to draw out the colour, the juice then ferments for around a week at low temperatures to retain all the fruit flavours and aromas. Maturing, bottling and tasting notes Carried out at the château by me. My old-style Beaujolais Villages Nouveau has a purple-blue robe.
