Stéphane Aviron - Beaujolais Villages 2017
Overview
Terroir: The Stéphane Aviron Beaujolais Villages is sourced from two of the best terroirs of the appellation, both with old vines averaging at least 50 years in age. The vines in the commune of Quincié have sandy, granite soils and the commune of Lantignié has clay and limestone soils with favorable southwest exposure.
Vinification: Whole clusters of grapes are fermented, and then macerated for six days to extract characters of fruit and finesse. The wine is aged in cement tanks to retain the purity of the fresh fruit. The wine shows great finesse, elegance and a very “easy drinking” nature.

"Wafting from the glass with aromas of plums and cherries, the 2017 Beaujolais-Villages is medium to full-bodied, velvety and succulent, with lively acids, powdery tannins and a sappy core of fruit. From the steep slopes around Quincié, this is a superior and well priced Beaujolais-Villages."
