Enquire about availabilityTasting notes
The 2023 Beaujolais from Domaine Marcel Lapierre is a red wine made from 100% Gamay, sourced from old vines with an average age of 70 years. The wine comes from three plots in the Beaujolais region, located in the commune of Lancié (a neighbouring commune to Villié Morgon). This wine was usually partially used for the Raisins Gaulois cuvée, but starting with the 2021 vintage, it has been vinified separately. The Lapierre Beaujolais has a ruby colour. The nose is fresh and intense, with aromas of red fruits like raspberry and subtle spicy notes. On the palate, the wine is rich, elegant, and refined, with a delightful freshness.
