Morgon, “Chemin des Croix”

Olivier's sole red wine comes from a small parcel in the beloved Beaujolais cru of Morgon called "Chemin des Croix." The vines are owned by Olivier's wife's family, and Olivier employs the same viticultural methods as he does with his vines in Pouilly-Fuisse: biodynamic farming, hand-harvesting, and immaculate attention to detail throughout. In the cellar, Chemin des Croix ferments spontaneously and undergoes a classic semi-carbonic maceration with no sulfur added whatsoever, and Olivier ages it for one year in used 600-liter demi-muids.
