"Simple “Beaujolais” does not justify this new cuvée by sibling duo Mathieu and Camille Lapierre. It tastes more like top-class Morgon, with loads of bright cherry and silky violet s, only it’s made from parcels just beyond the Morgon AOC boundaries. A testament to the greatness of whole-cluster Gamay from sandy granitic soils, it is a more affordable—and available—opportunity to experience the magic that makes Lapierre an iconic producer not just in Beaujolais, but in all of wine." — Anthony Lynch I think Mr. Lynch says it all, but I will add that the grapes come from a 2.5 hectare plot holding 50 to 80 year old Gamay vines which were farmed organically. After fermentation, the wine was aged for 6 months in tank. 12.5% ABV Show more
