Beaujolais
"I cultivate life in the vineyard and my wines are alive!!!"
This would be enough as a presentation also because we are in the presence of one of the most historic and representative producers of Beaujolais.
Four splendid hectares at the foot of the Massif Central, bordered to the south-west by the municipalities of Fleurie and Chiroubles, a corner of paradise where the vineyards grown on the slopes facing south-east receive the rising sun, while the others are lulled by the sun at sunset and this helps to produce wines with a unique and fantastic taste. Biodynamics in the vineyard and no artifacts in the cellar, not even a small addition of sulphites. In some ways we know this territory for young and super vital wines, spectacular to drink immediately, well, Michel's wines reflect both characteristics even if they lend themselves even more to long age in the bottle which then reward the most patient by finding a complexity in the glass and drinkability impossible to obtain right away.
Granite 2020 - Gamay with 10 days of semi-carbonic maceration, from vineyards classified "Beaujolais Village" although Michel refuses any sort of naming process; €30.90
Au Bon Grès 2015 - Gamay vinified like Granite but coming from another parcel and with much longer aging; €33.90
La Bonne Pioche 2021 - Gamay vinified like Granite but coming from another parcel; €26.90
Moncailleux 2017 - Gamay with 10 days of semi-carbonic maceration, from vines over 70 years of age grown in the classified area "Moulin a Vent" even if Michel refuses any sort of naming process; €37.90
Mystère de Rosée 2021 - Gamay from vines over 30 years of age with 12-hour maceration on the skins followed by slow and delicate pressing that lasts a further 12 hours; €26.90
