Gamay Noir, Beaujolais

$109

In the glass

Red berries, orange peel and plenty of sage, with zippy acid: Yann Bertrand's oldest Fleurie vines, made with nothing added.

Red berries, red liquorice, orange peel and lots of sage, carried on bright, perky acid with a slightly wild edge. This is Yann Bertrand's top Fleurie, from vines of 60 to over 100 years around Château de Grand Pré on decomposed granite and sand, the first plots he moved to biodynamic farming. Yann is the third generation of his family here. Nothing goes in during winemaking: wild yeast, no sulphur. Light on its feet for a top cuvée, but layered.
