2*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

“Franck Large employed traditional Beaujolais winemaking techniques to produce this remarkably elegant Beaujolais-Villages. The nose is delicately floral and fruity. After a crisp opening, the palate unfolds with finesse, fullness, and length, supported by a powerful tannic structure. The aromas evoke red and black fruits. It has depth.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2017)

About the wine:

Franck Large employed traditional Beaujolais winemaking techniques to produce this remarkably elegant Beaujolais-Villages. The nose is delicately floral and fruity. After a crisp opening, the palate unfolds with finesse, fullness, and length, supported by a powerful tannic structure. The aromas evoke red and black fruits. It has depth.

About the estate:

Generations of sharecroppers worked the land before Franck Large, who initially worked as a sharecropper himself, became the estate’s owner. Located just 100 meters from the stunning Romanesque priory of Salles-Arbuissonnas, the estate now comprises 12.5 hectares of Beaujolais-Villages vineyards, with some plots in Brouilly.

Fruity. Everything you'd expect from a good little Beaujolais Villages to enjoy with friends. Great value for the price.
