The Raisins Gaulois 2024 from Marcel Lapierre is a lively, approachable Gamay from Beaujolais, captivating with its brilliant ruby-red color and an alluring bouquet of red currants, cranberries, delicate violets, and a subtle smoky note. The nose is fresh and invigorating, underscored by a fine minerality reminiscent of the region's granite soil .
On the palate, it is juicy and light-bodied, with crisp tannins and lively acidity reminiscent of fresh cherries, raspberries, and a hint of white pepper. The wine is unfiltered and vinified without added sulfites , giving it a special authenticity and drinking pleasure. A perfect companion for relaxed evenings or as an aperitif.
Beaujolais, nestled between Burgundy and the Rhône, is one of France's most vibrant wine regions. Known for its fresh, fruit-forward red wines made from the Gamay grape, the area covers 12,000 hectares and encompasses ten prestigious crus – including Morgon, Fleurie, and Moulin-à-Vent. The region benefits from a temperate climate with continental influences and granitic, schist-rich soils that impart the wines their characteristic minerality and elegance.
Gamay, the signature grape of Beaujolais, captivates with its vibrant fruit, soft tannins, and floral aromas. Originally from Burgundy, it found its ideal terroir in Beaujolais: the barren granite soils and temperate climate impart aromas of red berries (raspberry, cherry), violets, and a delicate hint of pepper. Gamay is an early-ripening, high-yielding variety that impresses both as a young, fresh wine and as a complex, age-worthy Cru (e.g., Morgon or Fleurie).
