L’Arlésienne Beaujolais-Villages Aux Gauthiers 2023 lujan-de-cuyo among Europe’s highest altitude areasThis unique Beaujolais comes from one of the highest vineyards in Beaujolais. Aux Gauthiers is located at the top of the slope and 520 metres above the Col du Truges and the commune of Villi Morgon. The vines here were planted in the 1940s and 1970s and are picked one week later than Benot Moreaus cuves in Chassagne Montrachet. The winemaking encompasses 30% whole clusters, and no oak is involved in the maturation.
