Beaujolais-Villages 'La Roche', Michel Tete

50+ year old vines
Vines from Les Côtes de la Roche just west of Juliénas in the hamlet of Jullié
350 meters in altitude and on a clear day you can see Mont Blanc!
High density planting: 10,000 vines/ha
Steep slopes of crushed granite, blue stones – with the bedrock very close
Semi-carbonic vinification in large upright wooden barrels
Aged in tank after malolactic fermentation
There are many terroir parallels between Jullié and Juliénas. This is a character-rich, expressive Gamay from just outside of Beaujolais’ band of “cru” villages. Certainly one of the finest values for serious quality anywhere; floral, aromatic and full of intensely layered red fruits.
