Sheltered in a granite basin at an altitude of 400 meters, this is the highest of the Beaujolais vineyards and one that produces exquisitely-flavoured, soft and supple wines that are bright red in colour, with a splendid mix of floral aromas – peony, lily of the valley, iris and violets. Light and fruity, they are very typical of the region’s style.
Serve chilled at 12°C, with cold meats, poultry, white meat and hors d’oeuvres.
