Product Details:
Hospices de Beaujeu is a truly historic organisation which was founded in 1240. Over time, they received donations of land and now own 83 hectares of vines in Beaujolais. They are still close to their altruistic roots.
Cold-maceration occurs and vinification occurs in temperature controlled stainless steel vats for 3 weeks. The wine is then matured in a mixture of oak barrels and stainless steel vats, (30% oak and 70% stainless steel), from 8 to 16 months. 25% of the oak is new so you will get a bit of that spicy character to the final wine. Bourgogne giving Beaujolais a run for their money with this Gamay.
