Winemaker Notes
This high-altitude terroir has the highest vines in Beaujolais. It's a guarantee of freshness in today's changing climate. On these steep slopes, the vines undergo arduous, meticulous work. The wine has a very delicate nose, with notes of black fruit mixed with floral aromas. The palate is round and pleasant, with the same blackberry notes detected on the nose. The finish is fine and elegantly acidic.
Critical Acclaim
James Suckling, 93 points
"This youthful wine from a high-altitude location needs some aeration to open. Cool, red currant nose, even some herbal freshness, which is rare for the vintage. Wild strawberry and floral notes develop. Quite sleek on the medium-bodied palate, but with a solid base of powdery tannins and just a hint of oak at the positively firm licorice finish. Sustainable. Drink or hold."
