Product Overview
Winery's Notes:
"We use the short pruning method en cordon Royat for all the Gamay vines on the estate, to restrain the natural vigorous growth of this grape variety. Grown on the clayey limestone soils of the Mâconnais, this wine has very particular peppery and spicy notes. Beaumont is an emblematic cuvee of the domaine, a real Gamay with a Burgundy style."

91 Points - Wine Advocate
"The 2021 Mâcon-Cruzille Beaumont unwinds in the glass with deep aromas of plummy fruit, spices and subtle hints of oak. Medium to full-bodied, supple and ample, with a sweet core of fruit and powdery tannins, it's a fine success for this old-vine Gamay cuvée." -WK, 10/19/23
