Chateau des Vergers Beaujolais Lantignie AuxVergers 2021 750ml

Producer Description 

Aromas of blueberry and spicy, forest floor on the nose. The palate is medium bodied with plenty of dark berry fruit, earthy minerality, excellent acidity, and soft, structural tannins. Almost think of this wine like a gamay dressing up as a syrah. 

Cuvée Le Blanc is a single vineyard at 300m planted to guyot-trained chardonnay by Cosima’s parents in 2006. The parcel is south/southwest facing with pierres bleues (blueschist) soils. Her winemaking is as it has been in the region for centuries. Sulfur is not used in the winemaking process, and she adds only a small amount at bottling if needed. Her objective is “to produce terroir wines that are alive, with a soul,” wines that are as natural as possible, but also clean wines, without defects, as she has great respect for her customers. Her chardonnay is mineral and delicious, showing impressive elegance and density.
