Prunelle de Navacelle Beaujolais Lantignié 2022

Elegant Beaujolais, vibrant aromas of raspberry, cherry, and blackberry. On the palate, it is fresh and juicy, with silky tannins, a touch of earthiness, and a well-balanced acidity. 

From a certified organic, 80-year-old Gamay vineyard in Régnié—once farmed by Julien Sunier—Prunelle crafts this terroir-driven wine with biodynamic farming and natural winemaking. The vines, rooted in pink granite at 390m, are hand-harvested and undergo semi-carbonic maceration before a slow press in a traditional wooden vertical press. Native yeasts ferment in concrete vats, with malolactic in old 2500L foudres. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, with minimal sulfur if needed. As part of a movement to elevate Lantignié to Cru status, Prunelle and her peers are shaping the future of Beaujolais. Pure, expressive, and a must-try for Gamay lovers.
