Discover the soul of Beaujolais with *Les Pas Perdus*, an exceptional cuvée from the granite slopes of the Brouilly appellation. Crafted from the Gamay grape variety, this red wine combines finesse, freshness, and aromatic complexity. Produced using sustainable viticulture practices, it perfectly reflects its unique terroir and the expertise of a passionate winemaker.
Terroir and Winemaking
The grapes come from old vines planted on the slopes of Mont Brouilly, where the granite subsoil ensures optimal drainage and slow ripening. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures to preserve the purity of the fruit. Aging for 8 to 10 months on fine lees enriches the texture and develops subtle secondary aromas.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep ruby with violet hues.
Nose: Expressive, dominated by Morello cherry, wild raspberry, and a touch of sweet spices (cinnamon, white pepper).
Palate: Full-bodied and silky, revealing velvety tannins. The finish is fresh, luscious, and lingering, with notes of small red berries and violet.
Food Pairing
A perfect companion for grilled veal or duck breast, it also pairs beautifully with a platter of charcuterie and mild cheeses (Brie, young Comté). Serve between 14°C and 16°C to fully appreciate its aromatic profile.
Cellaring and Serving Advice
Enjoy it now to appreciate its freshness, or cellar it for 3 to 5 years to allow more complex notes of forest floor and cocoa to develop. Open the bottle 30 minutes before serving to let its full aromatic range unfold.
