‘Primeur’
Gamay, Beaujolais, France
A berried, earthy & JUICY big bojo baby! After interning at Savoie’s famed Belluard and Beaujolais’s great Lapalu, ex-punk rocker Sylvère Trichard began Séléné in his hometown of Blacé, with farmer and friend Elodie Bouvard in 2012. Since then the property has flourished with plantings of fruits, and vegetables, as well as the introduction of animals and biodynamic practices. From Sylvère’s home block on sandy pink granite, the young vines are picked by hand and carbonically macerated in concrete tank for five days to amp up aromatics and JUICINESS, before being pressed off to finish fermentation. FUN FACT! Essentially right after the wine is dry and through malolactic conversion, it is bottled and released young & HUNGRY in the great Beaujolais Nouveau tradition! Melange of red and black liquorice, mashed strawberries, baked blueberry + underripe blueberries + yoghurt, wood bark structure, cranberry & a stemmy scruffiness. Pour alongside cowboy omelettes and spring flowers.
