Marcel Lapierre - Beaujolais - Le Beaujolais - Red - 2024

Wine:

From 2.5 hectares of 70-year-old vines planted on granite soils and raised without any oak influence, the 2024 Beaujolais Le Beaujolais Red offers a beautiful introduction to the estate’s style. The nose reveals an especially open, fresh fruit profile, bursting with raspberry, violet, and a hint of spice. On the palate, it’s remarkably elegant with silky, almost invisible tannins, delivering a smooth, juicy, and highly approachable wine.
