Wow! One of the discoveries that feels like you never had wine before! A powerful nose with notes of dried fruit and spices. Palate: superb volume balanced by a beautiful verticality, mineral tension, a full-bodied juice crafted for gastronomy.

100% Sauvignon from 15-year-old vines, grown organically and planted on clay-limestone soils. Manual harvest and natural vinification: direct pressing and transfer into barrels right after pressing, so fermentation in barrels without settling of the lees. Aged for 24 months in old barrels on fermentation lees, in a reductive environment (= a space with little oxygen). Bottled on the estate without fining or filtration, without added sulfites.

Raphaël Saint-Cyr is at the head of Domaine Saint-Cyr, located in Anse in Beaujolais.

The estate has now 23 hectares of vines in the Beaujolais, Chénas, Morgon and Moulin-à-Vent appellations. Respectful cultural...
