DOMAINE DE COLETTE Jacky Gauthier Beaujolais Villages 'Tradition' 2023 Bottle VEG/VGN (Gamay)

Description

Domaine de Colette is in the small village of Lantignié, regarded as the top village in the cru of Regnié. Run by the humble Jacky Gauthier, it was founded by his father René. Jacky studied enology at the tender age of 17 and immediately started working with his father in the vineyards. Their steep pink granite vineyards are home to vines of about 45 years old, but one plot, called Colette, reaching over 80 years. The grapes undergo carbonic maceration followed by a gentle pressing.

A pleasant ruby-red colour, the wine presents fresh red fruit flavours in its youth, but over time evolve into delightful complexity.

This makes for a great aperitif or try it with barbequed meats or goats cheese.
