    The wine

    Il s'agit là d'une cuvée parcellaire (70 ares) de très vieilles vignes, plus que centenaires (plantées en 1900). Les raisins sont vendangés manuellement et la macération carbonique se fait en vendanges entières puis un élevage de 8 mois en fûts de 10 vins. La mise se fait sans soufre lorsque c'est possible, sinon de l'ordre de 10ml. A la dégustation, ce vin se démarque par ses jolis arômes de fruits noirs (mpure, cassis) et ses notes épicées, ses tanins soyeux, sa rondeur et sa gourmandise, sa fraîcheur. Un vin qui démontre aisément tout le potentiel des grands terroirs du Beaujolais. Il s'accordera parfaitement avec le canard ou les viandes blanches.

    Information about domain Jean-Claude Lapalu

    From a family of wine makers, Jean-Claude Lapalu settled at the family domain in Beaujolais in 1982. After a few years of sending his grapes to the cooperative, he started making his own wines in 1996. He gradually found his own path and discovered his own style, developing natural vinifications with little intervention. The work in the vineyard has become much more eco-friendly and more respectful of the terroir. The 12-hectare vineyard is certified organic, the soil is ploughed, and the rows are covered with grass. Jean-Claude Lapalu has a superb viticultural heritage, including many mature vines, some of which are over 100 years old. A top Beaujolais domain!
