2022 L'Arlesienne, Beaujolais-Villages, Aux Gauthiers

France Gamay Beaujolais Beaujolais-Villages 750ML
/

From a rare Village parcel planted in the 1940s and 1970s called "Aux Gauthiers" located at the top of the slope (520m altitude) in the commune of Villié-Morgon. Vitrified with a percentage of stems, depending on the vintage, and fermented on ambient yeast and aged and vinified in stainless steel, without the use of SO2.

Benoit Moreau, previously the vineyard manager of Domaine Bernard Moreau in Burgundy, clearly knows his trade well. Though a just a humble “village” wine, Aux Gauthiers would undoubtedly give some Morgon Grand Cru producers a run for their money.

It is silky, blue-fruited, with a perfectly balanced structure, ample acidity, and deep complexity shifting between fruit, a sweet character, and hints of dried herbs. It's a comfort wine if I’ve ever had one.

Somewhat surprisingly to many of us, half of the fraternal team behind the Bernard Moreau wines split in 2020 to create his own label:Benoit Moreau, the man behind the vineyard work for so many years. He's got half of the greatest vineyards in a one of the most superb collection of Chassagne and Saint-Aubin that exist today, and starting in 2021, 4 superb bottlings of Beaujolais from his newest purchase.

L'Arlesienne

After 22 years of making wine together the two Moreau brothers set to dividing the land they inherited from their father, a splendid portfolio of Premier Crus in Chassagne and Saint-Aubin of which Benoit now claims 4 hectares.  His first vintage in 2020 consisted of entirely purchased grapes while the estate was settled, but even those first wines showed an immense talent emerging.

In 2021, Benoit also purchased an additional 1.7 hectares in Beaujolais, split between Beaujolais Villages and the famed crus of Chiroubles and Morgon. Those wines are bottled under the L'Arlésienne label, crafted much like Benoit treats his Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge wines: at least partial whole clusters allowed to ferment with ambient yeasts in stainless, amphorae or demi-muid - the one difference being the tank, whereas his Chassagne wines are aged in Burgundy barrels, some portion of which will be new oak, vintage-dependent. 

In case we weren't entirely clear, our love for these wines is immense, as they are beautifully textured, precise wines unburdened by much outside influence such as oaky flavors or huge amounts of reduction; just profoundly energetic, memorable and sure to be long-lived.
