Fresh & fruity - a White Beaujolais Nouveau!
More Info
Tasting Notes: Fresh with full fruit character of stone fruit and citrus, delicate white flower, with a clean, structured mineral palate. The terroir is Limestone and sandy soils, right next to Morgon. Vinification : hand harvested, gentle pressure and vinified in stainless steel.
The Gauthier family have been making wine in Morgon since 1834, passing the estate down through generations to Laurent Gauthier, who now runs it with his sons, Jason and Elie. Their artisan domaine covers 11ha: 9ha in Grand Cras, one of Morgon’s most prized climats, known for its schist soils, and 2ha in Côte du Py, the appellation’s most famous slope with its distinctive blue granite. Committed to sustainable farming, they limit chemical use to encourage biodiversity and are now certified organic. With a philosophy of minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar, the family produces authentic, characterful natural wines.
This year, they have created a fresh interpretation of Beaujolais Nouveau - a white version made from 100% Chardonnay, vinified using carbonic maceration. Elie, who leads the winemaking for this release, was named Best Young Winemaker of Burgundy a few years ago.
“Soft, but full of zesty life and equally youthful, this fresh twist on tradition is one not to be missed!”
