Harvested from 65 year-old, organically farmed Gamay vines, fermented fully carbonic and whole-cluster, the wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered after an 9 month maturation in s pent oak vats, this Beaujolais is limited annually to 2,700 bottles. Pierre Cotton's family has been farming and producing wine at the same cellar in Odenas since 1856. After working for a short stint as a motorcycle mechanic, Pierre spent two years in the Loire Valley before returning to the domaine. In 2014, he reclaimed 1 hectare of Côte de Brouilly for his first cuvée - 100% Cotton. Inspired by tasting wines with compatriot friends Yann Bertrand, Jules Metras, and Keke Descombes, Pierre’s wines are all farmed organically and made without any sulfur. Vinification is semi-carbonic in large cement tanks, and then the wines are aged for 8-9 months in old foudres that range in size from 14 to 42 hectoliters. 13.5% ABV Show more
