Lapalu Alma Mater Gamay 2018
Type: Red Wine
Producer: Jean-Claude Lapalu
Country: France
Region: Beaujolais
Grape: Gamay
Year: 2018
Farming: Organic certified / biodynamic practicing
Jean-Claude Lapalu is revered for his commitment to naturally-farmed, naturally-produced Beaujolais in the southernmost Cru of Brouilly. Lapalu's patchwork of cuvées are a result of a curious mind, years of experimentation, and perpetually evolving tastes.
Gamay goes through carbonic fermentation in concrete vats with whole clusters. Gentle maceration but no punch downs or punch overs to minimize extractions. Pressed with a traditional basket press. Aged 7 months on skins in amphora. Pressed to tank and settled for 3 weeks. No fining or filtration. No SO2.
Inky and black with dark cherry aromas and flavors. Structured, juicy, elegant and pure. Balanced and fresh.
