When it comes to Beaujolais Villages, Romuald’s really punches above its weight. The majority of the fruit here comes from hundred year old vines surrounding his home in Beaujeu, with the balance being from an old parcel he farms just down the hill in Quincié. The combined elevation of 400-500 metres above sea level allows him to craft bright, fragrant Gamay despite the warmth of the vintage. Wild, rustic and moreish, it is a wine that makes so much sense on the table, especially alongside the robust cuisine made famous in the bouchons of nearby Lyon.
