While making our baby Joujou, we kept some of the grapes for Nuits Noires. The vinification method is not the same, the thing we changed is an open top fermentation only with whole bunch grapes and a part of it aged on used Burgundy barrels which give it a different touch. It’s a special cuvée to explore.
2x Mayga 2023 AOP Beaujolais Lantignié Rouge
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.
2x Ousia 2024 /VDF
For quite a bit Ousia is part of the family range of Clos Bateau. One of the creative wines we decided to make.We like to brainstorm and come up with different ideas. Not only what the taste can be like but also the visual aspect. Then the idea of Ousia came to us, we had this idea of freshness and fruitiness of the direct press from the gamay and chardonnay, but we also wanted to have a little bit more structure to it. That’s when we decided to do a press direct of gamay and chardonnay and include whole bunch chardonnay in the tank to have a small maceration. It turned out to be a perfect marriage.
All our wines are naturally made unfiltered, unfined, wild-fermented and without added sulfites.
