Bottle Shot

Château de Belleverne is a small, family business run out of an 18th century château. Château Belleverne’s vines grow on siliceous clay on gentle slopes. Specialists in Saint-Amour which is the most northerly cru. This is at the lighter, fresher end of the scale with beautiful fruit, the wine is classically Beaujolais in style.

 

UVA NON GRATA GAMAY VDF 2020
Bottle Shot

Uva Non Grata (Latin for ‘ungrateful grapes’) refers to the historical downgrading of Gamay while Pinot Noir became the ascendant of the two grapes in Burgundy. Gamay loves the granite/siliceous soils of the vineyards in the hills to the north west of Lyon in eastern France. The grapes were hand picked deliberately early to maintain freshness. In the cellar, grapes are vinified using traditional carbonic maceration techniques followed by a short cuvasion to keep the upfront, juicy fruit characters in this lighter style of wine.
