Where this wine come from?
Beaujolais is an area located south of Burgundy and actually very different from its northern neighbours (Côte d’Or, Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais regions). In-fact, unlike the rest of Burgundy where the kings are Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, here the one and only sovereign is a black grape called Gamay. There are 10 Crus of Beaujolais and each cru has its own personality (climate, soils, altitude…). This specific wine comes from the very southern Beaujolais.
Soil: in this area there is a resurgence of schist and blue granite.
Curiosity
- Amor Vache means “dirty love” because it’s a wine that went through many stages, not all beautiful but in the end Jon (the wine maker) loves it.
