Marcel Lapierre Le Beaujolais 2025
The Wine
“Le Beaujolais” is a cuvée made from three parcels located within the Beaujolais appellation, in the village of Lancié (a neighboring commune of Villié-Morgon). Created in 2021, Le Beaujolais is a wine produced through carbonic maceration and aged in wooden vats. It reveals aromas of fresh red fruits with a hint of spice. ML
Simple “Beaujolais” does not justify this new cuvée by sibling duo Mathieu and Camille Lapierre. It tastes more like top-class Morgon, with loads of bright cherry and silky violets, only it’s made from parcels just beyond the Morgon AOC boundaries. A testament to the greatness of whole-cluster Gamay from sandy granitic soils, it is a more affordable—and available—opportunity to experience the magic that makes Lapierre an iconic producer not just in Beaujolais, but in all of wine.
