Characteristics
VISTA: It shows a brilliant ruby color, with violet reflections that denote youth and vitality.
NOSE: On the nose, vibrant red fruit appears—cherry, raspberry—accompanied by delicate floral notes and that mineral character provided by its granite and sand soils.
BOCA: Light but surprisingly firm: clean acidity, very subtle tannin, and a medium-light body that invites another sip. The end It's fresh, fruity, and lightly spiced, reminiscent of mild licorice.
Cod Ravioli Even though it's a fish dish, the wine's light structure pairs perfectly with it: the fruit and vibrancy cleanse the texture of the ravioli and make the cod stand out without any strain.
SALMON: The wine has enough tension to balance the natural fattiness of the salmon without overpowering it. The red fruit provides an elegant contrast.
OCTOPUS LEG The wine's minerality harmonizes with the octopus's smoky notes, and its light style prevents the dish from feeling heavy. It works surprisingly well.
GRILLED VEGETABLES The braised vegetable notes pair perfectly with the fruit of the wine. The acidity keeps everything light and very pleasant.
SEARED BEEF TATAKI Because it's a very tender and juicy meat, with a cool center. The acidity and fruit of the Beaujolais complement it without overpowering it.
EMPANADAS The dough and juicy filling find a good ally in the wine fruit; the liveliness helps keep the palate active between bites.
This Beaujolais Villages “Granite” comes from the best slopes of the appellation, in the transition between the clay-limestone soils of the south and the granitic soils of the north. Soils of granite and sand, light and acidic, with a small clay component. The climate combines oceanic, continental, and Mediterranean influences, which gives the wine liveliness and freshness.
The grape is 100% Gamay%. The harvests are done by hand with selection, the winemaking is semi-carbonic with whole clusters in raw concrete vats. The maceration lasts 8 days before pressing, and the wine is aged for about 8 months in concrete vats, aiming to preserve fruit and freshness.
The result is a red wine that very transparently expresses its terroir: granite, sand, freshness, fruit.
