Gamay, Yann Bertrand 'Mon Petit Chéri'
Produced from a plot at the foot of the Fleurie appellation where the vines are cultivated according to biodynamic principles. Its lightness and suppleness make it the ideal companion for your summer evenings, or to accompany a barbecue in good company. Its velvety, silky texture delicately envelops your taste buds, while its fruity aromas unfold harmoniously...
Depending on the vintage, Yann may change the proportion of elevage in oak barrel vs. tank. In 2019, a large amount of rain fell before harvest, so he chose to age all of his wines in oak barrels, so as to give them more structure; in 2020, he chose to age about 50% in barrel, as the wines were high in alcohol and very structured. In 2021, the ratio was 70/30 barrel and tank. In 2022, the élevage was much more cuvée-specific. For example, 30% in tank for Julienas and Saint-Amour, 30% in concrete tanks for Chaos, 100% in steel for Fleurie Mon Petit Chérie, ⅔ in tank and ⅓ in barrel for Beaujolais.
