    The wine

    Issue de vignes âgées d'environ 60 ans plantées sur sol granitiques et sablonneux, cette cuvée provient de vendanges manuelles et de raisins égrappés ; la vinification se fait en amphores de 400L pour des macérations de deux mois, puis l'élevage se poursuit en cuve durant 10 mois. Le vin n'est pas filtré. Le vin exhale des parfums de violette, de cerise et de prune et dévoile une bouche ample, fraîche, pure et empreinte d'une belle minéralité et d'un fruité éclatant. Dégusté jeune, il réclame une ou deux heures de carafage.

    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!
