Guy Breton 'Cuvée Léa' Chiroubles, Beaujolais, France 2022
- Winemaker: Guy Breton
- Farming: Organic practicing
- Variety: Gamay
- Terroir: 60 year old vines, it hails from a higher-altitude parcel with seventy-year-old vines that are naturally low-yielding. Named “Cuvée Léa” after his granddaughter.
- Vinification: Only indigenous yeasts are used. Grapes are cooled to 5-6° C after harvest to begin fermentation at low temperature. 100% whole-cluster fermentation for all wines. Short macerations in tank; length of maceration is determined by tasting and varies per wine and per vintage. Grapes are pressed and racked to aging vessels (tank or wood) before the end of fermentation. Tiny doses of sulfur added during élevage and at bottling
