Winery & Vintage Info
Maison Joseph Drouhin has always had a special affinity for this area and, since their pioneering work in the early fifties, has assiduously promoted it around the world. Made from grapes harvested in villages celebrated for the quality of their terroir and micro-climate, this wine represents, vintage after vintage, the true spirit of the Beaujolais-Villages appellation.
Although Beaujolais is part of 'Greater Burgundy', it differs from Burgundy in many respects. Out of the 35,000 hectares of Gamay planted throughout the world, 22,000 hectares are in the Beaujolais area, spread over 38 villages.
2022 provided Beaujolais wines with a wide variety of profiles: full-bodied and structured wines with a deep colour, typical wines for cellaring, but also fleshy wines pleasant to drink.
The fruit for this wine comes from grapes and musts purchased from supply partners according to rigorous specifications.
Harvested by hand, and if necessary, a careful sorting is proceeded in the vineyard and at the winery.
Made using traditional methods for Beaujolais, semi-carbonic maceration, full bunches of grapes. The maceration lasts 6 to 10 days. Maturation in stainless-steel vats for a period of 6 to 8 months.
