2022 Vin de France Eau Forte, Jean-Claude Lapalu

2022 Vin de France Eau Forte, Jean-Claude Lapalu

This is made from a high quality Beaujolais village parcel, but after the wine was rejected in 2012 for being ‘too pale’, Jean-Claude decided to change its classification to the much freer Vin de France, valuing the innate character of the wine over the AOC’s regulations. It remains one of the most interesting in his range. It is low-intervention in the extreme: Jean-Claude doesn’t touch the tank during its 12 day maceration and fermentation. It’s also zero sulphur and 100% whole-bunch. And remarkably, it remains wonderfully poised, bright and clean. It has a beautiful nose with plum, cassis and pomegranate aromatics, and a fine, elegant structure, with a refreshing mineral note throughout.
