Description
Raphaël Beysang and Emélie Hurtubise are a couple working together at the southern tip of Beaujolais, just north of Lyon. They make gamay wines, often bottled in beautiful old recycled one litre Beaujolais bottles.
This cuvee comes from vines planted in 1955 in Theize (towards Macon), fermented as whole bunches and with elevage in foudre. From a slightly warmer year, there’s gorgeous dark red fruit, with lots of fleshy primary matter, and some earthen flavours from the stalks.
The structure and style of fruit here makes this really killer with a bit of chill, and coupled with the 1L format, this makes this bottle a great option for the park or for festive occasions. There’s always so much joy in these bottles and in our experience, once opened, they’re always the first on the table to disappear.
