BEAUJOLAIS - 6 BOTTLES

$240.00

sold out

This is what happens when Parisians fall in love with Gamay and refuse to cut corners.

Jean and Stéphanie de Rotalier spent a decade running a wine bar in Paris, drinking everyone else's wine and dreaming about making their own. In 2020, they bought a 150-year-old sharecropper's farm in Salles-Arbuissonnas - a village nobody's heard of, 15km from anywhere that matters - and converted the barn into a winery. Now they farm 2.5 hectares of 40- to 60-year-old Gamay vines organically (herbal teas, sulfur, copper, no bullshit additives) and make wine the way it's supposed to be made: by hand, with friends, without shortcuts.

What you get is Beaujolais that drinks like it came from somewhere real. Not mass-produced. Not sweetened. Not trying to be anything other than what Gamay does best when you don't mess with it.

Brouilly "Pisse Vieille": Yes, that's the actual name. It comes from a legend about a hard-of-hearing woman and a priest, and the result is 60-year-old vines on stony alluvium that produce wine that's both tender and powerful. A few months in oak casks before bottling. This is what Brouilly is supposed to taste like.

Beaujolais "Sous Le Chemin": Gamay from sandy, stony soil full of quartz. Structured, spicy, built for food. Red fruit, pepper, minerality. Pair it with your BBQ or anything that has heat.

Make this your first order and you'll get $40/bottle pricing on all future orders.

Small production. Hand-harvested. Once they're gone, they're gone.

WHAT’S INCLUDED:

3 BOTTLES: Pisse Vieille (yes, that's really the vineyard name)

sits on pink granite with 60-90 year old Gamay vines. Jean farms it with his wife. They harvest with help from neighboring winemakers who left other careers to do this. It's how wine used to be made before "terroir" became a marketing term.

Whole cluster fermentation - this wine tastes like granite, bright cherry and raspberry with a mineral backbone. Light body, high acid.

Serve it cold like the French do. This is bistro wine. The kind you drink on a Tuesday with charcuterie and realize you don't need to spend $60 on Pinot Noir.

3 BOTTLES: SOUS LE CHEMIN (GAMAY)

This is natural Beaujolais for people who want wine that tastes alive.
Sous le Chemin is Jean’s zero-sulfur, unfiltered expression of Gamay. It's cloudy, it's funky, it's energetic. Wild strawberry and pomegranate with earthy undertones. The kind of wine that makes sommeliers geek out and your uncle ask "is this supposed to taste like this?"
Yes. It is.
Declassified from Brouilly AOC to Vin de France because Jean wanted freedom to make wine his way - whole cluster, carbonic maceration, nothing added. If you like Beaujolais but want something with more personality, this is it.
