Introduction:
The 2023 Jean‑Marc Burgaud Beaujolais Villages “Les Vignes de Lantignié” is a vibrant and expressive red, capturing the purity of Gamay with energy and finesse. A lovely example of Beaujolais Villages from a respected producer.
Terroir:
Grapes are sourced from schist- and granite-rich vineyards near Lantignié, benefitting from a sunny microclimate and cool nights. The result is bright fruit expression with refreshing acidity and fine mineral structure.
Appearance:
Bright ruby with a hint of purple; translucent and lively in the glass.
Nose:
Inviting aromas of wild strawberry, red currant, and raspberry are supported by floral nuances—violet and rose—and a touch of fresh-turned earth and spice.
Palate:
Medium-bodied, with bright and linear acidity framing the vibrant red fruit. Flavors of cherry, cranberry, and raspberry unfold alongside delicate peppery spice and subtle herbal hints. The texture is silky, with fine tannins that offer grip without weight.
Finish:
Clean, lingering, and refreshing—red fruit echoes, gentle spice, and a faint mineral lift round out the finish, leaving the palate poised and cheerful.

An approachable yet refined expression of Beaujolais Villages. It’s perfect with charcuterie, roasted chicken, mushroom dishes, or simple salads. Drink now to 2026 to fully appreciate its freshness and charm.
