Producer: Alexis de Benoist
Region: Beaujolais
Grape varieties: Gamay
Color: Red
Harvest: 2014

Quantity: 75cl

This is a Gamay with depth and structure! Old vines and the 2014 vintage give this red Beaujolais depth. A complex, expressive, and very flattering nose of red (raspberry jam) and black (blackberry and blackcurrant) fruits. Aeration reveals other aromas: black cherry. The palate is rich with a slightly minty finish.

DOMAIN

Originally from Champagne, Alexis de Benoist set up shop in 2010 as an artisan winemaker on the family estate to reinstate the cultivation of vines, which had been interrupted for a century, and reconnect with its history. Since then, the family has regained its title of winegrower. Today, he cultivates 9.5 hectares of vines spread across two wine-growing regions: Mâconnais and Beaujolais. The intention is to harmonize the grape variety and its terroir to produce wines of character. Concerned about preserving the environment and the quality of his wines, Alexis de Benoist has chosen to focus his efforts on the vine, favoring traditional agriculture and cultivation methods linked to observation. In this 30 to 80-year-old vineyard, the harvest is done by hand. The grapes are thus harvested healthy, at maturity and remain intact upon arrival at the vat room for vinification in whole bunches. The choice of traditional vinification and aging aims to preserve the freshness of the fruit, while maintaining structure, in order to produce an expressive, balanced and delicate wine for laying down.
