ABOUT THIS WINE
L'Authentique is a classic expression of Beaujolais-Villages, crafted by La Compagnie Beaujolaise under the stewardship of the historic Burgundy house Maison Moillard. Sourced from selected hillside vineyards in the northern part of the region, where granite-rich soils impart a distinctive mineral tension, this wine represents a traditional, fruit-forward style. The 2024 vintage was marked by a cool, challenging growing season that required meticulous vineyard management, ultimately yielding a wine of remarkable freshness, vibrant acidity, and pure red fruit character.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process utilizes traditional semi-carbonic maceration with whole grape clusters in temperature-controlled stainless steel and cement vats. This technique coaxes out the vibrant, primary fruit esters and keeps tannins exceptionally soft. Following a gentle pneumatic pressing, the wine undergoes a short aging period in inert tanks to preserve its youthful energy, bright fruit profile, and crisp definition before bottling.
