Beaujolais, Marcel Lapierre, Les Raisins Gaulois 2023

One of the first wine producer that sparked my interest into the incredible region on Beaujolais.
Marcel Lapierre was Monsieur Morgon and very much the godfather of Gamay. Marie Lapierre, his wife, makes the wine at Château Cambon. These wines are naturel; the wild yeasts are practically gnawing at your ankles. Intended to express terroir and possess a cool freshness, equilibrium and fruit; veritably these are vins des soifs. The Raisins Gaulois is fun incarnate – drinking this wine offers indecent pleasure.
