Marcel Lapierre Estate

Description
The most approachable and delicious cuvée from Domaine Marcel Lapierre. Made primarily from young Gamay vines, Raisins Gaulois is a crisp, juicy, and wonderfully convivial red wine, characterized by aromas of fresh cherry, raspberry, and small red berries. An immediate pleasure wine that perfectly embodies the spirit of natural Beaujolais.

Winemaking
Hand-harvested, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, semi-carbonic maceration with whole bunches, short aging in vats, unfined and unfiltered, with minimal sulfur added at bottling depending on the vintage.

Description
The classic of the estate. From the historic terroirs of Morgon, this Gamay expresses the full depth of the cru with notes of black cherry, blackberry, violet, and sweet spices. The palate combines fruit, freshness, and structure with remarkable aging potential, while retaining the finesse that has made the Lapierre family famous.

Winemaking
Manual harvest, whole bunches, fermentation with native yeasts, traditional Beaujolais semi-carbonic maceration, aging in old foudres and Burgundian barrels for several months, without fining or filtration.

Description
Produced from the estate's oldest vines, Cuvée Camille represents Marcel Lapierre's deepest and most ambitious expression. Denser and more complex than the classic Morgon, it reveals aromas of ripe black fruits, liquorice, dried flowers, and warm stone. A great wine for ageing, where power and elegance coexist in rare harmony.

Winemaking
Parcel selection from old vines, manual harvest, whole cluster fermentation with indigenous yeasts, long maceration, extended ageing in old barrels and foudres, unfined and unfiltered.
