Tasting Notes

Aroma

Brimming with fleshy black and blue fruits matched by spice.

Palate

Quite full-bodied with youthful chewy tannins, lively acidity and a long sapid finish.

Vinification

Following the hand harvest, the fruit was 50% de-stemmed and fermented quite warm at 25-35 degrees Celsius in cement tanks for a week to 10 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 young and juicy over the coming 3-5 years. Serve at 12 degrees Celsius to enjoy the wines fragrance and freshness.

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.
