L’Or des Pierres Rouge AOP Beaujolais Jacques Charlet
Charlet’s winemaker Frédéric Maignet has produced a wine that simply screams Beaujolais. Produced from Gamay grown in the south of the region, in the area known as “Pierre Dorées”, it oozes fruit – raspberries, strawberries and bananas – and is soft and light on the palate.
La Vauxonne AOP Beaujolais Villages Jacques Charlet
A less expressive, more complex Beaujolais wine. The fruity aromas are complemented with savoury notes. It is medium bodied with more flavours emerging in the mouth, with red fruits and banana and a long cranberry astringency on the finish. Vinified in much the same way as l’Or des Pierres, the added complexity comes from the grapes which are grown on sandy granite soils at an average altitude of 350 metres.
Phalangere AOP Coteaux Bourguignons Rouge
Coteaux Bourguignons is a relatively new appellation established in 2011 which encompasses the Burgundy region. Wines can be made from Chardonnay, Aligoté, Pinot Noir or Gamay. In this case Gamay has undergone a long classic Burgundian fermentation producing a succulent wine with sweet red fruits and wine gum flavours. It is light to medium bodied with supple mid palate and some grip on the finish.
