Inviting aromas of black plum, graphite and fresh pencil shavings open on the nose that leans into black tea and cranberry skin. A palate with reserved flavors of red cherry and dried hay completes with velvety tannins that linger.
 
Winemaker Notes
Grapes are sourced from the finest vineyards within the Beaujolais-Villages appellation in northern Beaujolais. Louis Jadot practices the quality-driven “replis” method, whereby grapes of higher classifications from the 10 famed Beaujolais Cru villages are added to elevate the blend. The area’s granite and sandy subsoils contain a high percentage of manganese, which produces an especially deep and rich expression of Gamay. Grapes are handpicked in whole bunches and traditional Burgundian methods are used for vinification.
