Tasting notes
This cuvée has a richness and a concentration that is rare in a Beaujolais. It is only produced in the best vintages and in small quantities. The nose has aromas of ripe fruit and well integrated toasty notes. The palate is dense, rich, well structured, silky and with a long, fresh finish. If you lie this delicious cuvée down for a few years it will reach its full potential.
More About The Winery
Based in Morgon, Jean-Marc Burgaud is one of Beaujolais’ rising stars, known for crafting pure, structured Gamay from his 19 hectares of old vines. His vineyards, averaging 40+ years, lie on granite and schist soils, with the famed Côte du Py delivering wines of striking depth and minerality.
Using traditional Beaujolais methods with whole-cluster carbonic maceration and careful élevage in both tank and barrel, Burgaud produces wines that are bright, fruit-driven, and age-worthy. Expect vivid notes of mulberries, cherries, and spice wrapped in freshness and precision.
