Rijckaert 2022 Coteaux Bourguignons Correaux Vieilles Vignes

‘Correaux’ is an area at the very southern point of Burgundy near Beaujolais. The soil here has much more granite making it a perfect spot for Gamay. The vines here are on average 50 years old and a majority have Eastern exposure.  The wine is made with 70% whole cluster with about 3 weeks of maceration before being aged in stainless steel tanks. No wood is used in order to highlight the fruity and spicy notes of the wine. It has a very fresh, elegant nose with nice structure on the palette. It is a fun and playful style of Coteaux Bourguignons and would be enhanced if served chilled.
