Château De Grand Pre

Morgon 2019

£24.95

The Beaujolais red natural wine Morgon from renowned farm Château De Grand Pre is a truly terroir-driven and vibrantly dynamic treasure. It’s 100% Gamay from organically farmed 50 years old vines on schist and decomposed rock soils, spontaneously fermented with carbonic maceration, so as to extract maximum freshness and elegance of fruit. It ages 3-5 months in old barrels and is bottled with no fining, filtration, and at times only the tiniest amount of added SO2. Alive with complexity and finesse, it gently deflagrates on the palate with crushed violets, licorice, and smoked pomegranate.

Producer Profile

Château De Grand Pre

Château De Grand Pre is a tiny jewel of a family-run natural winery located near Burgundy’s prestigious area of Morgon, near the communes of Fleurie and Villié-Morgon, also known as Beaujolais. The husband and wife team of Louis and Renée Bertrand acquired the estate in 1972, with their children becoming curious and then enamored with low intervention winemaking in the ’90s, subsequently fully embracing natural practices, as well as being certified organic since 2012. Their grandson Romaine, who worked with Jura legend Ganevat, is now at the helm and, vintage after vintage, gives birth to vibrant, nuanced, and supremely elegant natural wines.
