L Arlesienne Beaujolais Village 2023 750ml

The 2023 L'Arlésienne Beaujolais-Villages "Aux Gauthiers" is an elegant, terroir-driven red wine crafted by Benoît Moreau from high-altitude old-vine Gamay. Situated approximately 520 metres above sea level near Villié-Morgon, the Aux Gauthiers vineyard features vines planted during the 1940s and 1970s. Its elevated location contributes to freshness and aromatic precision, while the winemaking approach preserves the purity of the fruit. With partial whole-cluster fermentation and no oak maturation, this expressive Beaujolais showcases vibrant fruit, refined texture and distinctive mineral character.
