This wine has a crisp, slightly funky nose of bramblefruit and cool undergrowth that lands on the palate with vibrant acidity. The 2022 vintage sees some Carignan added to the previous iteration's Grenache Noir.

A blend of three Carignans, from a worldclass winery lurking in the depths of one of the Old World's "wine lakes", the Matassa Rouge is a cellar-worthy red with complex earthiness and licorice underlying delectable fruit notes.

Chiroubles has the highest altitude vineyards of the Beaujolais region, and it shows through in this crisply dry, yet mouth-wateringly fruity red. Luscious!

A delicious marriage of Pinot Noir and Gamay, and as fruit-forward and acidic as anything Santini produces. Drink pantry-cool alongside some appetizers.

100% pinot noir from the Givry commune, made using the "flottaison" method, this wine eschews the soily, vegetal side of the grape in favor of big fruit notes. Crushable, but worth savoring.
