Domaine de Chardignon, Côtes-de-Brouilly, Beaujolais, France 2008

100% Gamay. The wine is a deeper purple with shades of ruby. A bouquet reminiscent of irises and fresh grapes. Palate is strucutred, peppery and rich. You will be astounded by its finesse. This wine is harvested manually with the traditional Beaujolais method (without de-stalking nor crushing of the grapes) and maceration of 7 to 8 days. Bottling in early spring.
