by Alpine Wines' classic producer Philippe Deschamps from vineyards in Beaujeu and Brouilly.
A proper wine made in a month by a true craftsman - fun and very good.
This is fruitier and more mineral than the Lacondemine (which is more structured and shows some tannins) - they make a great contrasting pair so most people get some of both.
We think it's one of the best in Beaujolais and so did the Beaujolais growers association
Why Choose This?

People often ask what makes Philippe's Beaujolais Nouvea so good?
Here are just some of the reasons why!
His vines are older and his yields much lower than most Beaujolais producers but still within the permitted limits
He works classically with spontaneous yeasts but if the wines are to slow to start fermentation, occasionally he has to add a starter.
He’s very precise about temperature control and although a small producer utilises small cooling banners in the fermentation tanks to optimise control.
After fermenting the different parcels of Gamay from his sites in Beaujolais, Villages and Brouilly he tastes the fin de presse and if too austere this is left out of the final Beaujolais Nouveau, its not wasted but added to some of his other wines for structure like the Beaujolais Vielles Vignes
New Arrivals, special offers, what's tasting good right now, and the occasional story, every few months, every month, sometimes more often if there's loads going on.
