2023 Domaine de Boischampt Julienas Beaujolais Red Wine

Juliénas Organic Gamay Wine | Biodynamic Beaujolais from Rugged Granite Slopes

Sourced from 50-year-old vines clinging to 20–45% gradient slopes in Juliénas’ historic Boischampt cru, this certified organic* (2023) Gamay thrives in nutrient-poor blue-stone soils. Biodynamic farming practices and meticulous hand-harvesting ensure minimal intervention while maximizing terroir expression—expect vibrant acidity cut by distinctive mineral undertones shaped by Léman Lake’s microclimate.

Handpicked grapes ferment whole-cluster in temperature-controlled concrete vats without added sulfites**, preserving fresh red fruit intensity (think Bing cherries kissed by wild thyme) alongside refined tannins that gain complexity after 6 months of lees contact. The result? A rare natural Beaujolais that marries exuberant fruitiness with saline freshness rarely found outside premium crus villages.

Perfect for:
✓ Celebrating Beaujolais’ terroir without oak influence
✓ Pairing earthy dishes (try with seared venison or truffle risotto)
✓ Aging 2–3 years to develop tertiary spice notes

Certified via Ecocert since vintage 2022 | *Contains <10mg/L residual sulfur dioxide from natural fermentation

Why choose Boischampt? Unlike mass-produced Gamays using young vines or excessive oak, our estate’s steep slopes force vines to concentrate flavor in thin-skinned berries—delivering a crisp (13% ABV), food-friendly profile with zero added sulfites. Each bottle reflects our commitment to preserving Juliénas’ UNESCO-recognized viticultural heritage through sustainable practices.*
