Marcel Lapierre Le Beaujolais

Pure, unadorned Gamay that leans more into clarity than exuberance, opening with fresh cherry, red currant, and crushed raspberry, edged by violet, wet stone, and a faint savory hum of fermenting grape skins. The palate is light and fluid, with crunchy red fruit framed by brisk acidity and barely-there tannins, allowing the wine to move easily across the tongue without friction. A subtle granitic snap and gentle peppery note carry through the clean, refreshing finish. Less playful than Raisins Gaulois, more grounded and transparent—an honest, quietly satisfying expression of Lapierre’s touch.
