L Arlesienne Beaujolais Villages Aux Gauthiers 2022 750ml

L'Arlesienne Beaujolais Villages "Aux Gauthiers" 2022 is an expressive French red wine crafted by Benoît Moreau from a distinctive vineyard parcel in Beaujolais. Located at approximately 520 metres above sea level in Villié-Morgon, Aux Gauthiers is planted with old Gamay vines dating back to the 1940s and 1970s.
Produced with a thoughtful, low-intervention approach, the wine showcases the freshness, purity and character of Gamay. Its winemaking involves ambient yeast fermentation and partial whole-cluster inclusion, with maturation designed to preserve the natural fruit expression and character of the vineyard.
The result is a beautifully textured Beaujolais-Villages with vibrant red and dark fruit characteristics, refreshing acidity and a refined structure. It offers an appealing balance of freshness, elegance and complexity.
