Incredible bubbles here!
Emélie Hurtubise and Raphaël Beysang make delicious gamay wines in the far south of Beaujolais, in the commune of Saint-Germain-Nuelles on the northwestern outskirts of Lyon.
The couple met in the Auvergne, where they were working among the same group of winemakers, including Patrick Bouju, Vincent Marie and Aurelien Lefort. Raphaël comes from an Alsatian family of restaurateurs, and learned about farming and winemaking from Jean-Marc Dreyer, with whom he is very close. Emelie is from Quebec, originally. After being offered the opportunity to manage some old vineyards in Beaujolais, Raphaël moved there in 2017. Emélié followed in 2018 and together they started their own label.
This cuvee comes from the cool, high-quality 2022 vintage, and is 100% gamay from a number of sites, made in a pet-nat style. There’s a distinctly spicy character from the whole bunches, which is balanced brilliantly by a very vivid, almost off-dry shade of varietal red fruit.
There’s always so much vitality and joy in these bottles, and this is no exception.
