2 x Croix Pen(n)et 2023 AOP Beaujolais Lantignié Rouge/ 12.8%
When we look from our house to the mountain direction Regnie-Durette, there is a parcel of almost a half hectare that belongs to us. It’s quite funny because half of it is Regnie and the other side is Lantignie. Both villages calls it Croix Pennet, but only Lantignié uses 2 times the n. The exposition is south facing and it’s full of big granite rocks. It’s a terroir specific and every year this parcellaire wine have this Croix Pen(n)et taste which is hard to explain. We do some longer macerations, and we age 70% on Burgundy barrels.

2x Bateau Blanc 2023 AOP Beaujolais Lantignié Blanc / 12.1%When following a path in our vineyard down to a small river which crosses our meadow, we come at this mystical plot of Chardonnay. A plot surrounded by a lot of very old oak trees, blackberries, blackthorn and more and with a terroir specifically with a lot of clay. This is great for biodiversity: say hello to deers, hares and more but also a great breeding area for flavescence doree (which has killed with their virus now almost 1/3 of our plot). Unfortunatly with less vines this year, we hope to have it under control in a couple of years and do some replantation on the empty spots. With a press direct, vinified in amphore and a small part on a used barrel it’s became this mystical wine, just like the plot itself.
In Lantignié, at one of the higher parts (418m), the Gamay vines lives on a granite soil. We did a maceration of almost 2 weeks in concrete, after pressing we aged the wine on used barrel. Mayga has a classic but rustique character and the typical Clos Bateau touch what we are known for. A wine you can drink in front of a fireplace during winter but also great to drink a bit chilled during summer.
