Emeric's note

An unplanned party in the garden

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).

Granit is a rarity: a sparkling Gamay Blanc de Noirs made in the traditional method, Brut Nature, with no sugar added.

Like cream on a bowl of strawberries. Pour it for someone who's never had sparkling Gamay. Also in magnum.

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.
