Marie Beatriz Bererd "Carbo", Beaujolais

The Wine

This is a wine from the Gamay grape grown in the Southern part of Beaujolais. It is the sibling wine to Berard's popular Beaujolais Village - one of our best-selling Gamays. The partial carbonic fermentation amplifies this wine's lively, high-toned fruit aromas, perfect for those seeking a chillable red for today's lighter fare. 

This wine is a "zero-zero" wine, meaning nothing is added post-harvest - no sugar, no non-native yeast, no SO2.

But there's more to the story - the vines providing this fruit are 50-100 years old, growing on steep, well-drained vineyards found at 2,000+ feet of elevation just south of Fleurie.
