This Beaujolais, called Les Clos Vieilles Vignes, hails from the acclaimed Saint-Vérand terroir. Made with Gamay grapes grown on unique "plagiogranite" soils, it boasts a warm and fruity character. Visually, it stuns with a limpid, ruby red core that shimmers with purplish highlights. On the nose, a delightful medley of red fruits like raspberries unfolds, intertwined with darker notes of blackberry and blackcurrant. The first sip is smooth and gentle, enlivened by a refreshing acidity. Silky tannins grace the palate, followed by a lingering echo of the dark fruit aromas. This versatile Beaujolais pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes, from white and red meats to poultry and fish. Its festive nature even makes it a great complement to exotic cuisines like Antillean or Asian fare.
