Gautier Marion is the fifth generation of the family to manage Domaine de la Couvette, tucked into the gently undulating countryside of Southern Beaujolais.

If you could picture what a quintessentially small french producer should look like then Gautier's property would come very close. He takes great pride in making wines in the traditional carbonic macerated style using his trusty, old concrete vats, which he uses to age the wines as well. Respecting not only the winemaking traditions, but also their 11 hectares of land and the vines that are up to 50 years old, they demonstrate their commitment by making a fully organic Beaujolais - which is full of ripe red fruit, spicy, earthy notes and a lovely smooth minerality.

After a manual harvest, carbonic maceration takes about four days. A cold and traditional vinification is performed. Fermented and aged in cement tank.

Garnet-coloured with purple highlights. Fruity; with roundness on the palate, balanced and very enjoyable notes of red fruit (raspberry, blackcurrant.)

Great with cold cuts of meat, cheese, salad and barbeque foods!
