Les Pivoines is juicy, fresh and approachable. Super ripe Gamay fruit with flavours of summer fruit compote, typically vibrant acidity and a soft, approachable finish. Just what you want from Beaujolais Villages.

Production

Gamay vines grown on the slopes of the rolling Beaujolais hills. Whole bunch Gamay is fermented using traditional carbonic maceration techniques. A short cuvaison is used in order to keep the up-front, juicy, fruit characters.

Tasting Notes

Juicy, super ripe and softly perfumed on the nose, this is full of the flavours of summer fruit compote. Ripe tannins and vibrant acidity present an easy drinking wine with a soft, approachable finish. Good with a charcuterie platter, BBQ sausages or even a hearty salad; try the regional salade Beaujolaise – a poached egg with fried bacon strips on green salad …and don’t forget the garlic!
