Jean-Claude Lapalu is a leading low-intervention producer in Beaujolais, known for wines that favor clarity, energy, and balance. His Vieilles Vignes Brouilly comes from older Gamay vines rooted in granite-rich soils on the slopes of Mont Brouilly, where lower yields naturally bring depth and concentration. Farming is careful and hands-on, with a restrained approach in the cellar to preserve purity and site expression.
The 2024 vintage is expressive and composed, showing red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry with subtle floral notes and a gentle mineral edge. The palate is fresh and well-defined, carried by bright acidity and fine, lightly structured tannins. The finish is clean and composed, with depth that builds subtly.
Varietal: Gamay
Appellation: Brouilly, Beaujolais, France
Farming: Sustainably farmed; low-intervention
Style: Red. Fresh, structured, and site-driven
