COTEAUX DU LYONNAIS RED BENOIT MAILLARD 2021
Reserve of the Grand Prior
In the XNUMXth century, the Abbey of Savigny used to collect a tithe in kind from its farmers. As a fine connoisseur, Benoît Maillard, one of the most famous priors of the Abbey thanks to his work as a historian and whose writings have allowed us to better understand the life of the abbey at that time, "reserved" the best cuvées for the consumption of the Abbot and his distinguished guests.
The selected plots are placed in the commune of Savigny where the enclosure of the abbey stood, of which only a fortified tower remains today. The terroir of Savigny offers sandy crystalline soils covering in places basalt rocks.
The raisins, from the Gamay grape variety, are defined when ripe. The harvest is then partially destemmed and benefits from a long vatting period of 8 to 10 days. After pressing part of the cuvée continues its fermentation and aging in oak barrels (barrels of 2 to 3 wines). A more fruity base is also kept in vats.
The aging lasts 7 to 8 months in vats and oak barrels in order to obtain a round wine offering a subtle alliance between notes of stone fruits and silky tannins. After bottling, the Réserve du Grand Prieur allows itself a rest of at least 30 days before being marketed.
It can be kept while improving for 3 to 5 years.
BEAUJOLAIS VILLAGE DOMAINE OF SAINT ENNEMOND 2019
Winegrower in Cercié
1 250 winemakers give life to the Beaujolais-villages, first name in France to have used the term "villages". In 38 communes of the Rhône and Saône-et-Loire, and 3 geographical zones with marked specificities, these fruity and fleshy wines reflect the characters of their terroirs. Made from granite soils and sand, the Beaujolais-villages have an intense color, with cherry or garnet hues, and reveal on the nose aromas of red fruits dominated by blackcurrant and strawberry. If a third of the production is offered in Beaujolais-Villages new, the appellation also holds its rank in wine of guard.
