Beaujolais Nouveau
Tasting Notes
This Beaujolais Nouveau displays a brilliant garnet color with purple reflections. It offers fresh aromas of black cherries and blackberries, as well as a dense texture, and an admirable richness. Refreshing, fruity and supple on the palate, this vintage is a perfect expression of Nouveau.
Vineyards
The grapes are sourced from the southern part of the Beaujolais region, which is a patchwork of terroir ranging from sand, clay and limestone to granite and schist. Differences in altitude and latitude influence the style of wine produced. Some of the grapes were picked by hand, in whole clusters, while others were machine harvested. They come from vines over 20 years old that were trained in the Guyot Trellis System.
Winemaking
Traditional semi-carbonic maceration took place over eight days, followed by malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, at temperatures between 66-and-68ᵒ F.
