Region
The vineyards of Beaujolais fall on the granite rich slopes of a hilly region between Mâcon and Lyon at the southern limit of Burgundy. The only vine variety authorised for red wines is Gamay, traditionally grown as free standing bush vines. A small amount of Chardonnay is also grown. The most favourable vineyard sites produce `villages` wines, and the 10 named `Cru` villages of Beaujolais represent the best vineyards of the region and produce the longest-lived and fullest style of Beaujolais.
Producer
Located in the south of Beaujolais, Jean-Baptiste joined his father in 2013 to work in their estate. They work together and share their points of view to create well balanced wines. Jean-Baptiste states that he believes in their grape variety, Gamay, which is ideal for fruity and fresh wines. They are HVE certified and practice a sustainable farming.
Tasting Notes
Glou Glou is a Beaujolais Villages wine, 100% Gamay made without the addition of any additives and aged in cement vats for five months. The result is a pure expression of the grape; juicy red cherries and raspberries combine with a touch of spice creating an easy drinking, juicy red wine.
Food
Perfect when paired with French pate or dry cured meats. Try lightly chilling in summer.
