Jean-Claude Lapalu is a leading low-intervention producer in Beaujolais, known for wines that emphasize energy, balance, and drinkability. Eau Forte is a freer, more fluid cuvée, bottled as Vin de France to allow flexibility in both sourcing and vinification. Made with a light touch and minimal intervention, the wine reflects Lapalu’s intuitive approach and his focus on freshness over extraction.
The 2024 vintage is bright and easygoing, showing red cherry and raspberry with subtle floral notes and a lifted, refreshing edge. The palate is light and lively, driven by fresh acidity and very gentle tannins that keep the wine supple and highly drinkable. Clean and energetic through the finish, Eau Forte is an expressive, everyday red.
Varietal: Gamay
Appellation: Vin de France, Beaujolais, France
Farming: Sustainably farmed; low-intervention
Style: Red. Light, fresh, and energetic
