Unit price per
100% Gamay
A rising star in Beaujolais, Anne-Sophie was only 25 years old when she took over eight hectares in the heart of Fleurie, in 2007. Her parents, vignerons in Champagne, owned this property but rented it out until Anne-Sophie decided to take it over. Anne-Sophie says that wine is "a sum of details" and for her this means manual harvesting, meticulous sorting, and spontaneous fermentation. L'Alchimiste is named after the Paulo Coelho novel—it's 100% destemmed, bottled (as always) unfined and unfiltered.
Lively and vibrant with flavors of cherry, raspberry, and subtle earthy undertones intermingle harmoniously. A mid-palate of silky tannins and a touch of mineral complexity adds depth to the wine.
