Jean Max Le Rouge à Lièvre 2022
Beaujolais, Burgundy, FranceThis gamay came from a single vineyard in St. Germain Nuelles, and 50 year old vines rooted in calcareous soils. It was native fermented and carbonically macerated before aging in barrel 9 months, with minimal sulphur added before bottling. 3450 bottles and 40 magnums made. Perfumed peony, fragrant wildflowers, wild raspberry runs the length of this slight palate, with fine, lightly sticky tannins hugging the sides, and a buoyant, lofted acidity sailing this through a saline finish. So charming, much like the hare on the label.Tasted: 26 September 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $45.00 | 750ml | consignment |
