Grown in the blue volcanic soils of Mont Brouilly, this artisinal Beaujolais is handpicked to produce only 500 cases.
The 60 year old Gamay vines produce a lush, mineral wine that elevates the reputation of Beaujolais every time it is enjoyed.

Jean Jacques Bereziat's domaine is in the village of St Lager at the foot on Mont Brouilly. His wines are among the most sophisticated of all the Cru Beaujolais. Everything is done by hand and by Jean Jacques himself. Annual production is below 2000 cases.

The region of Beaujolais is the southernmost part of the Burgundy department, sitting to the west of the Saone River. While its reputation has been somewhat tarnished by the thin, insipid juice proffered by certain mass producers, it nonetheless produces some of the finest and most enjoyable light-bodied wine in the world. To the north of the region lay the 10 villages that have been granted "Cru" status for the extraordinary Gamay reds they produce each village's wines have clearly unique attributes, ranging from the very pretty and feminine to the intensely structured and earthy. Around these vineyards are the better "Villages" level parcels, which tend to share in the increased structure that northern Beaujolais sandy clay soil over granite provides. To the south, the land flattens out and the soil becomes much softer, producing vines of less concentration. It is this region where much of the for young consumption (if at all) only Beaujolais hail from.
