"Bright magenta. Fresh blue fruit and cherry scents and a hint of white pepper on the fragrant nose. Smooth and nicely concentrated, offering bitter cherry and boysenberry flavors sharpened by a jolt of smoky minerality. Smoothly plays richness off energy and finishes gently tannic and quite long, leaving a fresh blue fruit note behind." 

Farming & Winemaking: 

"Gilbert Chetaille practices sustainable farming, avoiding the use of pesticides and following organic methods whenever possible. Grapes are harvested by hand, and fermented on indigenous yeasts. Wines are aged in stainless steel tanks." 

About the Producer: 

"Beaujolais insiders know that the volcanic soils of Mont Brouilly are the source of some of the most refined, aromatic Gamay wines. Winemaker Gilbert Chetaille’s 100-year-old vines on the steepest slopes of this mountain deliver a cru wine with spice, soul and staying power. 

A Brouilly native who grew up among Gamay vines and hard-working winemakers, Gilbert assumed the reins at his family’s estate in 2005, expanding his holdings to just under 20 acres of cru vineyards." 

Pairing Suggestions: Roasted chicken or turkey with autumn vegetables, flavorful cheeses like Roquefort, pork sausage
