Sebastien Besson - Noveau Beajuloais Villages 2023
From winemaker: This wine is a vibrant, fruity, and remarkably fresh example of the gorgeous Gamay fruit t h at estate grows right outside of the winery in the village of Lancié. Intended for the Nouveau style, the hand-picked fruit comes directly to the cellar for a natural whole-cluster carbonic fermentation in open concrete vats, giving the greatest and fruitiest expression possible, while not being forced and un-interesting like the category’s reputation sometimes holds. The grapes were very gently pressed after about 8 days and as soon as fermentation was complete, the wine was lightly filtered and bottled with only a small dose of sulfites. By law, the wine could not ship from France before the morning of October 17th but then began its journey to arrive in the customer's hands near the famous ‘Nouveau Beaujolais Day’ (the third Thursday of November). But, with the more serious intent behind this wine, it will drink splendidly for its first several months in the bottle.
