DOMAINE DE COLETTE Moulin-a-Vent Beaujolais Cru 'Le Mont' 2021/23 Bottle VEG/VGN (Gamay)

Description

Domaine de Colette is located in the heart of the Crus du Beaujolais, in the charming village of Lantignié, regarded as the premium village in the cru of Regnié. Run by the humble Jacky Gauthier, it was founded by his father René.

Soils in this small 'Le Mont' plot are granite-based, rich in manganese with a south-easterly exposure. The vineyards are cultivated using the Haute Valeur Environnementale approach, a stricter practice than Lutte Raisonnée with only organic manure used as well as grassing over and shallow ploughing. The soil is granitic and the vines bush-trained, with an average age of 70 years. The harvest is all carried out by hand with yields never exceeding 40 hl per ha.

A bright, luscious full-bodied wine defined by its silky tannins and evocative aromas of iris, rose petal, spice and red berries. With complexity coming from the manganese-rich granitic soils and old vines.

Perfect with Venison chops cooked with port wine, cranberries and ginger, or simply roast lamb or roast vegetable dishes.
