Louis Jadot Beaujolais Villages is an easy-drinking wine made with high-quality grapes grown in the southern part of Beaujolais. Soils are light and allow a light, fresh expression of Gamay. The grapes are handpicked in whole bunches, and cold soaking is longer than usual for Beaujolais.
This fruit-forward, juicy wine has expressive aromas and flavors of strawberries and black cherries with spice notes.
The traditional Burgundian vinification (no carbonic maceration) results in a medium-bodied wine with fresh, juicy character and nice weight on the palate.
The grapes are sourced from the finest vineyards within the Beaujolais-Villages appellation in northern Beaujolais. Louis Jadot practices the quality-driven replis method, whereby grapes of higher classifications from the ten famed Beaujolais Cru villages are added to elevate the blend. The area's granite and sandy subsoils contain a high percentage of manganese, which produces an especially deep and rich expression of Gamay. Grapes are handpicked in whole bunches, and traditional Burgundian methods are used for vinification.
