Emeric's note

The first wine of the new harvest

Taste profile

The wine's soundboard.

Tall bars, big wine. Low bars, easy wine.

The story

Behind the bottle

Château de Lavernette sits right on the border between Beaujolais and the Mâconnais, and the de Boissieu family farms it biodynamically (AB and Demeter).

Le Jeune 2026 is their fresh-from-the-harvest Beaujolais-Villages: short whole-bunch carbonic maceration, two months on fine lees in concrete, no sulphites added.

The new vintage in a glass, and a great way to start Beaujolais season.

The place

Beaujolais

Just south of Mâcon, Beaujolais is Gamay country. On pink granite and schist in the north, the ten Crus — Morgon, Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent and the rest — make structured, mineral reds that age beautifully; the flatter clay-limestone south gives bright, gulpable village wine. It was here that the modern natural-wine movement took root in the 1980s. ~14,000 ha.
