2023 M. et C. Lapierre, Raisins Gaulois, VdF

Domaine M. et C. Lapierre is a historic estate based in Villié-Morgon, where the family has practiced organic farming since 1981 to maintain the traditional character of Beaujolais. This wine is made from Gamay sourced primarily from young vines grown in the decomposed granite soils of the Morgon cru. It presents as a light, translucent red in the glass, offering crisp notes of cranberry, plum, and a hint of fresh earth with a clean, lively finish. The 2023 vintage, characterized by significant summer heat, yielded a vibrant and accessible profile with notable acidity that balances the fruit. This is a wine designed for immediate enjoyment and is best served with a slight chill to highlight its balance and refreshment.
