This terroir offers the highest, most granite-rich vines in Beaujolais. Altitude is a guarantee of freshness in today's changing climate. On these steep slopes, the vines undergo arduous, meticulous work. The wine has a complex nose with notes of undergrowth. The palate, quite different from the nose, offers flavors of red berries accompanied by good acidity and length. The finish features a surprising retro-olfaction.
