2023 Yann Bertrand Fleurie Vieilles Vignes, Beaujolais, France Terrazzi fined/filtered if necessaryCertified Organic and Biodynamic. 100% Gamay from a 2 hectare plot of 60+ year old vines grown in pink granite sand soils called Arene Granitique. This cuve is aged for longer in used barrels, then held back for an additional year before release. Bertrand calls this a particularly fragile parcel in the Grand Pr vineyard, with very acidic and sandy soils. Something of the flagship wine at the Bertrands. Carbonic maceration with native yeast and no SO2
