This wine is made from old vines dating back to 1945, expressing exceptional richness and depth. The Gamay grape is brought to its fullest potential here on granite-based soil. Meticulous winemaking, including destemming during harvest and a long vatting period, gives this Beaujolais a velvety and complex texture. Aging in new barrels further refines its structure, allowing it to improve with time. A red wine with character, best kept in the cellar.

After working as sharecroppers for some twenty years, Annie and René purchased the estate in 1987, which at the time comprised 8 hectares of vineyards and the farm buildings.

This geographical constraint encourages a careful and consistent approach to vineyard management, tailored to the specific characteristics of the Beaujolais terroirs.
