Beaujolais-Villages Rouge, “Le Bouteau”

A special cuvée sourced from old vines planted in the “Le Bouteau” vineyard in Leynes, the northernmost village in the Beaujolais district.  This wine, due to its substantial structure, undergoes a longer cuvaison and an extended élevage.  With its breadth of flavors (red fruits and wild berries) and wealth of backbone, this wine will provide positive surprises as it offers proof of the superior qualities of the best of this modest appellation.  The majority of this cuvée is shipped for our use in the US market … 3,600 bottles annually.
