2020 Richard Rottiers Beaujolais Villages

Alluring and lovingly created, this wine is dense, ripe and very concentrated. Spice and berried fruit dominate but each with a touch of subtlety.

Viticulture

Our old vineyard of Beaujolais Villages is situated just behind the estate. It is a granitic terroir really next to the Moulin-à-Vent appellation. The vinification is short, between 7 and 9 days of semi-carbonic maceration in concrete tanks. Aging in wooden vats and barrels during 4 to 6 months get the tanins smoother. This Beauolais Villages is fruity and spicy, typical of our local terroir.

Vinification

The entire crop is hand-picked and carefully sorted before being put into vats. The grapes are kept in temperature controlled vats. This method allows for fruit aromas as well as subtle and delicate aromatic reminders of the Moulin a Vent terroir to be gently extracted from the Gamay grapes. The final and perfect balance of our wines is achieved through temperature controlled fermentation and barrel aging throughout the whole winter season.
