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…).
Soil: in general schist and granite with some limestone.
Curiosity
- This wine is a collaboration between Santini Frères and Vin Noé, and as a combination you can find the two different styles: Santini Frères who is more in favour of carbonic maceration and no oak while Vin Noé is a more traditional producer favouring Burgundian methods and oak barrels.
