Beaujolais, France
A tiny block of 2 hectares of old vines – planted in 1950 and 1911 – in the prestigious region of Les Michelons in Moulin a Vent.
The vines are located in a single clos surrounded by a stone wall and poppies flowers. Mr. Lardy favours a chemical-free winemaking approach to ensure wines can better reveal their terroir. Expressing undeniable strawberry and raspberry notes, it also offers floral and spicy notes on the palate. The texture is fine, caressing and the tannins, moderately fleshy.
