Pascal Aufranc 2011 Vignes de 1939 (Chénas)

Country: France / Beaujolais
Variety: Gamay
Winery: Pascal Aufranc / Vignes de 1939

Made using fruit that was sourced from vines planted in 1939, this wine shows the great concentration low yields and old vines can give. It has Gamay’s natural freshness, with firm, dry tannins, a spice note and a fragrant finish. It’s drinkable now, but it will be better in two years.
