Tasting Notes

Aroma

Fragrant bouquet of small red berry fruits (raspberries and boysenberries).

Appearance

Bright cherry red colour.

Palate

The palate is medium bodied and has wonderful flesh and silky tannins, showing ripe red and black small fruits, cassis, spice and a hint of grilled meat through to the long finish.

Vinification

Following the hand harvest, the fruit was partially de-stemmed and partially whole cluster fermented quite warm at 25-35 degrees Celsius in cement tanks for a 12-13 days, with some carbonic maceration. Following the malo-lactic fermentation the wine is racked and left in tank on fine lees for around 10-12 months prior to bottling.

Cellaring Potential

Enjoy over the coming 6-8 years. Serve at 12 degrees Celsius to enjoy the wines fragrance and structure.

Vintage Notes

Vintage 2021 was problematic from the start in Beaujolais, as in Burgundy and Chablis, with spring frosts causing damage to the buds, and resulting in uneven ripening over the season. Later in the season humidity caused health concerns so selection needed to be extremely strict and in the end Louis-Benoit Desvignes was able to bottle around 40% of an average year, and did not bottle Beaujolais Blanc nor their flagship Les Impnitents at all, with the Cte du Py Javernires being a beneficiary of the latter.
