Jean-Claude Lapalu is a leading low-intervention producer in Beaujolais, known for wines that balance clarity of fruit with natural structure. Cuvée des Fous comes from granite-rich parcels in Brouilly, where elevation and well-drained soils lend freshness. Farming is thoughtful and hands-on, with restrained yields and a light touch in the cellar to let the site speak.
The 2024 vintage is lively, showing red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry with gentle floral notes and a subtle mineral edge. The palate is fresh and supple, carried by bright acidity and fine, understated tannins that keep the wine light. Clean and energetic through the finish, this is an expressive and joyful Brouilly.
Varietal: Gamay
Appellation: Brouilly, Beaujolais, France
Farming: Sustainably farmed; low-intervention
Style: Red. Fresh, expressive, and lightly structured
Size: 1.5L
