A Lapierre rarity: instead of the family's home turf of Morgon, this comes from the neighboring cru of Julienas. Marcel Lapierre was one of Beaujolais' Gang of Four, the founding fathers of natural wine who made living, no-makeup Gamay from old vines with semi-carbonic fermentation and minimal sulfur. Julienas, in the far north of the Beaujolais crus, tends to give wines with a touch more spice and firmness than Morgon. This 2016 has a few years of age, rounding out its structure while keeping the bright, lifted Lapierre energy intact. A chance to taste this iconic domaine in a different accent.

More about Marcel Lapierre

Marcel Lapierre is the father of natural wine, and his domaine remains the blueprint. Organic vineyards, wild yeasts, no sulfur, biodynamic methods since 1981—these weren't fashionable choices then. Now his son and daughter carry on the legacy with 18 hectares of exemplary Beaujolais.

Dry and energetic, with red and dark cherry fruit, a peppery edge, and earthy depth. Light, fine tannins, fresh acidity, and a clean finish. Drinking well.
