Region: Fleurie, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
Grape: 100% Gamay
Vintage: 2022

Crafted from the oldest vines of Clos de la Roilette, La Griffe du Marquis is a rare and refined expression of Fleurie Cru Beaujolais. This limited-production wine undergoes extended aging in seasoned barriques (2-12 years old) for a full year—longer than the estate’s other cuvées—resulting in deeper complexity and structure.

Winemaking Excellence

• Traditional semi-carbonic maceration with whole-cluster, hand-harvested Gamay
• Native yeast fermentation in open-top concrete tanks
• 18-day maceration with submerged cap for gentle extraction
• Unfined & unfiltered, with minimal sulfur to preserve purity

Tasting Profile

Expect vibrant red fruit aromas (strawberry, raspberry) layered with earthy notes, spice, and a silky texture. The extended barrel aging adds subtle oak nuances while maintaining the freshness Beaujolais is known for.

Why Choose This Wine?

• Exclusive small-batch production from Fleurie’s prized vineyards
• Aged longer than typical Beaujolais, offering cellar-worthy depth
• Organic-leaning practices with handcrafted attention

Pair with roasted poultry, charcuterie, or mushroom dishes. A standout for collectors and lovers of elegant, terroir-driven French red wine.
