Description
Selection of the best hills, the designation Beaujolais-Villages is produced north of the Beaujolais vineyard, in the crus area. The demarcation marks the transition from the clay-limestone in southern Beaujolais and only retains the granite soils.

Harvest and winemaking
The grapes were manually harvested in 15 kilos open boxes on September 10th and 11th, 2018.
The grape harvest, at maturity and healthy, made it possible to realise the wine making process in optimal conditions.The wines were casked early October and matured in barrels for 11 months. They were then assembled to be bottled in September.
Worked with the same care as our other crus, this plot produced grapes of beautiful quality. The wine is therefore charming and structured, the tannins reveal the volcanic orginin of the soil. The manganese present in the rock gives our little vintage a alluring persistence in the mouth. There is terroir in this wine … and fruit.
