Moulin-à-Vent Nature Domaine Jean-Paul Dubost 2016

Domaine du Tracot is found in Lantignié (Beaujolais) and was founded in 1902. In 1960, it was taken over by the Dubost family who worked on renovating the grape varieties grown there. This change brought great renown to the wines. Today the domain spans across 21 hectares, covering the appellations of Moulin-à-Vent, Fleurie, Brouilly, Morgon and Régnié). The vines are cultivated organically in a granite terroir and their grapes are picked by hand. This cuvée is a single-varietal Gamay wine with a traditional, low-intervention vinification. There is a long extraction followed by a 15-day fermentation at low temperatures. This is a natural wine, meaning no sulphur is added. Finally, the wine is matured in vats and casks. Its colour is a light, ruby red and its nose draws on notes of red fruit (particularly strawberry). This wine develops subtle notes that make it pleasant and easy-drinking. Serve it alongside a chicken curry or a tagine.
