What is this wine?
Marie and Vincent Tricot are natural winemakers in the Auvergne, central France, working with organically farmed old vines and minimal intervention in the cellar. Les 3 Bonhommes MC is a playful cuvée made from Gamay d’Auvergne (sometimes blended with a touch of Pinot Noir), vinified in carbonic maceration (MC), the same technique used in Beaujolais to emphasize bright fruit and freshness. Labeled as Vin de France, it reflects a natural, artisanal approach rather than rigid appellation rules.
Why get this wine?
Tricot’s wines are cult favorites among natural wine lovers for their purity, drinkability, and sense of place. Les 3 Bonhommes MC is juicy, vibrant, and easygoing—an excellent gateway to Auvergne wines. For fans of chillable reds and natural Beaujolais, this is a bottle full of charm, authenticity, and value.
What does this wine taste like?
Light-bodied and lively, with crunchy red cherry, raspberry, and cranberry fruit, accented by floral notes and a gentle peppery lift. Carbonic maceration gives it softness and juicy immediacy, with a fresh, gluggable finish.
When should you drink this wine?
Drink 2024–2026, served slightly chilled. Ideal for casual meals, picnics, charcuterie, or simply as a refreshing apéritif red.
