From the importer:
From a single parcel in the lieu-dit of “Les Thorins” on an eastern exposure. Soils are a sandy strata referred to as “gorrha” made of a strong decomposition of granite, resulting in a mix of quartz, clay, and iron oxide.
Semi-carbonic maceration of whole clusters with native yeasts in concrete tanks of 54hL. Temperature controlled and kept below 25°C. Daily pumpover during fermentation which lasted 15 days. No added enzymes. No filtration.
Elisa Guérin delivers a fresh new vision for Moulin-à-Vent and a reminder of how noble a grape Gamay can be. Elisa crafts not only joyous wines for early drinking—full of violet, cherry and wilted roses—but also intense-yet-harmonious, ageworthy wines with notes of undergrowth and steeped black tea that provide tannin and structure. The Guérin family holdings reintroduce a prestigious terroir that is a revelation to even the most knowledgeable Beaujolais consumer.
