Description
Rift 69 Beaujolais Villages, Jean Loron, Burgundy, France, 2022
Grape: 100% Gamay Noir, hand-picked, unoaked, no added sulphites from harvest to bottling allowing it to reveal deep and fleshy aromas. A 'natural' wine
Producer Tasting Note:
A deep, intense purple colour with purple reflections. Aromas of cherry, blackberry and blueberry crowned with spicy and mineral notes. The palate is dense, powerful, round and balanced with a remarkable spicy and liquorice length.
Critics' Tasting Notes:
"This juicy light red may be a bit simple, but it has a vivid aroma of violets. Some gentle tannins give an impression of weight and length. No sulfites added. Drink now."
88/100 points, James suckling, February 2023
"A name of the cuvée that refers to the very ancient geological history of the Beaujolais mountains. Slopes now planted with Gamay which deliver an expressive wine here. A hint of vegetal content gives it a certain freshness, while solid, spicy tannins develop on the palate. For the cellar." Drink 2024-2028
Rated "Very Successful Wine", Le Guide Hachette des Vins, 2024
Also awarded GOLD, Concours International du Gamay, 2023
Food Match: Serve at 13°C with charcuterie, pâtés, and soft cheeses
