Beaujolais 2021 - Chateau de Grand Prè

Beaujolais - Chateau de Grand Prè

The Beaujolais by Chateau de Grand Prè is a harmonious and fruity wine dominated by aromas of red fruits, based on gamay grapes. The grapes come from half a hectare with 80 year old vines set on sand and silt. Manual harvest with subsequent sorting, maceration for 10-15 days and subsequent refinement for 10 months in cement tanks on the fine lees. A wine of impressive ductility, at the table it goes well with a variety of dishes, from appetizers to main courses and cheeses.

Service

It is recommended to taste it at a temperature of 16/18° in tulip glasses. Daily wine.

Pairing

A wine for the whole meal, from pasta with tomato sauce to escalopes with mushrooms, to try with a Fassona tartare.

Cellar: Chateau de Grand Prè

Château de Grand Pré is a family-run winery located in the commune of Fleurie in Beaujolais. A company that has been handed down for generations and since 2012 has Romain Zordan at the helm, who after working in various French wine regions and abroad, decides to return home. In 2018, Alexandre Jakovljevitch also joins the adventure. With vines in Fleurie and Villié Morgon, the estate has been certified organic since 2012. Benefiting from a semi-continental climate with oceanic and Mediterranean influences, the habitat is perfect for over 60-year-old vines of the area's main grape variety, Gamay noir à jus blanc . Romain Zordan is churning out some of the purest Gamay we've ever tasted in a spirit we fully share: he makes wines that he likes to drink first and foremost. Fresh, precise, expressive, with very little sulfur but at the same time with a beautiful structure.
