Unit price per
100% Gamay
Franck Besson is one of the most unique winemakers in Beaujolais. He inherited 4 ha of high elevation gamay vines near Jullié from his father-in-law; vines with excellent terroir though technically outside of the Cru Julienas designation. Franck decided to make Methode Champenoise blanc de noir from this amazing Gamay fruit. All of his vines are farmed organically and the fruit is entirely hand-harvested. The sparkling wines spend anywhere from 6 months to 3 years on lees.
40 year old vines grown on pink granite in the Cru Juliennas. This sparkling wine is gorgeous. Dry, with notes of fresh raspberry and strawberry.
