Christophe’s crowd-pleaser, uplifting fun for everyone. The fresh and delicately funky nose of red berries, violets, and green herbs. Light-weight and velvety on the palate, moving to deeper fruit mid-palate, which is then picked up by refreshing acidity. Highly quaffable stuff.

Description
Christophe Pacalet is a micro-negociant that vinifies a plethora of different Beaujolais appellations at his winery in Cercié, just outside of Villié-Morgon. After studying biology and chemistry and spending 9 years as a cook in Lyon and the Caribbean, Pacalet chose to settle down and make wine in his home region, the Beaujolais. He had already picked up the basics of the craft helping his uncle (the late Morgon maestro Marcel Lapierre) in the cellar, and in 1999 this same uncle helped Christophe set up his own winery.
