Introduction:
The 2024 Jean-Marc Burgaud Beaujolais-Villages “Les Vignes de Lantignié” is a vivid, terroir-driven Gamay that bridges the freshness of Beaujolais-Villages with the depth and seriousness for which Burgaud is known. Sourced from the granite-rich hillsides of Lantignié, this wine emphasizes purity of fruit, mineral tension, and restrained structure, offering both immediate drinkability and a sense of place.

Terrior:
Lantignié lies in the northern Beaujolais hills, where high-elevation vineyards are rooted in pink granite and decomposed granite sands. These poor, well-drained soils naturally limit vigor and enhance aromatic lift and mineral expression. Cooler temperatures and increased diurnal range preserve acidity and freshness, while Jean-Marc Burgaud’s low-intervention farming allows the terroir’s energy and transparency to shine through.

Appearance:
Bright ruby with a translucent core and violet highlights. Clear and vibrant, reflecting minimal extraction and youthful freshness.

Nose:
Fresh and expressive, showing aromas of red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, and cranberry. Floral notes of peony and violet are layered with subtle hints of crushed stone, white pepper, and fresh herbs.

Palate:
Medium-bodied with a supple, flowing texture. Juicy red fruit dominates the entry, followed by savory mineral notes and gentle spice. Fine, powdery tannins and lively acidity create balance and precision, giving the wine both charm and quiet structure.

Finish:
Clean, lifted, and refreshing, with lingering red fruit, floral tones, and a delicate granite-driven minerality. The finish is energetic and food-friendly.

Food Pairings:

• Meat: Roast chicken; pork tenderloin with herbs; charcuterie-style sausages

• Vegetarian: Mushroom and lentil stew; roasted beets with goat cheese; vegetable terrine

• Charcuterie Board: Jambon cru; saucisson sec; young Comté; cornichons

Overall Impression:
Drawing together its granite-rich Lantignié terroir, luminous ruby appearance, fragrant red-fruit and floral aromatics, supple and precise palate, and fresh, mineral finish, the 2024 Jean-Marc Burgaud Beaujolais-Villages “Les Vignes de Lantignié” is an authentic, expressive Gamay. It excels with simple, savory fare and highlights the growing seriousness and site expression of top Beaujolais-Villages wines.
