Beaujolais "L`Aube à Javernières"

France
Beaujolais
2022

100% Gamay. 2020 was the first vintage of "L'Aube à Javernières" and the first Desvignes wine to not be strictly from the cru of Morgon. This new 0.84-hectare parcel of 20-30-year-old, certified-organic vines grows in deep clay soils just outside the Morgon appellation on the edge of Javernières at the base of the Côte du Py hill. The bunches are harvested by hand, with around 60% of them destemmed. They are gently pressed and go into closed concrete vats for a partly carbonic fermentation; maceration is about 10 days with a submerged cap and no punchdowns. A very small amount of sulfur is added after malo and sometimes at bottling. The wine is aged in concrete vat for 7 months and bottled with a light, non-sterile filtration.
