This Nouveau reveals high-toned aromas of fresh red fruits including cherry, raspberry, red currant, and wild strawberry followed by subtle floral notes of violet and hints of delicate spice and herbs. The palate is lively and refreshing, featuring juicy red fruit flavors balanced by a lively acidity. Unlike Nouveaux made with carbonic maceration, it tends to have more structure, with a mineral backbone and fine-grained tannins that give it a more serious, balanced feel. 

100% Gamay. The Terres Dorées L'Ancien vines are Jean Paul's oldest vines at 40-60 years old. They grow on the sandy clay-limestone hills in his home village of Charnay in the southern Beaujolais and yield small, thick-skinned berries. The farming is organic and harvest manual. The earliest harvest of these vines goes into his Nouveau. Unlike any other Nouveau out there, there is no carbonic maceration (true for all of his Gamays). The bunches are destemmed, the fruit crushed and fermented with native yeasts in tank, notably with no chaptalization; it is aged briefly, though longer than most Nouveaux, and bottled in time to land in the states by Beaujolais Nouveau Day.
