Marcel Lapierre Raisins Gaulois 2025
Marcel Lapierre is one of the great names of Beaujolais, and one of the people responsible for bringing the region back to its roots. Alongside Jules Chauvet and the other pioneers of natural winemaking, Marcel championed organic farming, indigenous yeasts and wines made with as little intervention as possible. Today, his children Mathieu and Camille continue the family legacy in Morgon, producing some of the most loved Gamay in France.
Raisins Gaulois is their wonderfully approachable expression of 100% Gamay, made from younger vines growing on the granitic soils around Morgon. The grapes are harvested by hand and undergo a short semi-carbonic maceration, followed by a brief ageing period in tank. The idea is simple: capture all that beautiful Gamay fruit and freshness without unnecessary extraction.
The 2025 is full of crunchy red cherries, raspberries, strawberries and a little floral lift. Light, juicy and wonderfully fresh, with barely noticeable tannins and that unmistakable Lapierre charm.
Give it a little chill and enjoy it with charcuterie, roast chicken, pizza or just about anything. A proper everyday Beaujolais from one of the region's most important families. We absolutely love having this one around.
