Vignobles Bodillard - Morgon - L'Auguste X 2014

Key words: Powerful / For keeping / Unique

The wine: Magistral! Aged for 36 months in oak barrels, this vintage Auguste is a unique wine produced from centenary vines (planted in 1902 and 1908) and presents itself as a real UFO of the region. We delight in its powerful fruity notes but elegant (cherry, blackberry), accompanied by a delicious, completely blended woodiness as well as a touch of violet and spices. Simply superb in complexity, length and with enormous aging potential! In short, a great Gamay.

The estate: Winegrower for 7 generations, the Bodillard family today owns 14 hectares spread over 7 towns between Beaujolais and Mâconnais. Some vintages are already certified in Organic Agriculture and all will be in the years to come. The diversity of the plots allows the estate to cover a great diversity of soils (granite sands, shales, etc.) and therefore to produce wines with varied characters. The plots are 95% south-facing and the vinification of the reds is Beaujolaise (carbonic maceration) to bring out bright fruit. Renaud Bodillard offers vintages with simple, easy-drinking fruit but also deep and complex wines capable of keeping for several years, even decades, in the cellar.
