Story: Sylvère Trichard took over his Grandmother’s four hectares of vines near the Beaujolais commune of Blacé in 2012. Along with his partner Mathilde Sothier, the pair work with biodynamic principles in mind, in accordance with the lunar calendar; but not pursuing strict certification. Vines are between 20 to 80 years old and planted on sandy clay soils over granite. Sylvère & Mathilde have been working hard on the family farm to encourage biodiversity, planting an orchard in 2020 and trees between the rows of vines. The trees will also help greatly with adding shade for the vines as temperatures continue to climb each summer.
Personality: Due to a vein of granite that passes underneath this plot of vines, there is a mineral finish to this wine that is reminiscent of the grand cru wines of Beaujolais. But otherwise, flutters of cherries and strawberries and a florality to the nose along with crunchy structure and well defined fruit.
Harmony: One of the most versatile wines to pair with food. Think Mediterranean cuisine, light poultry dishes, and why not pork?
