Terre de Manganèse
Terre de Manganèse
Domaine Didier Desvignes is a new acquaintance for us in Sweden. In Beaujolais and France, Didier is known for his nature-focused wines. Always with the focus on the vineyard and as few interventions as possible in the cellar. Wild yeast and little or no sulphur are a given. If you now think Desvignes' wines would lack clarity or definition, you'd be wrong. Here we're talking about very polished and delicious wines with the fruit at centre stage. This wine was fermented in large oak vats before being transferred to small oak barrels where it underwent malolactic fermentation and was then aged for one year on its fine lees. With Terre de Manganèse, Didier Desvignes shows what Beaujolais is truly about. Delicious now in summer but can be cellared for a few years.

Vinification
80-year-old vines, as with the other wines from Desvignes very low yields, traditional vinification, and virtually no sulphur (or yeast, filtration, fining...), fermented in oak tanks and then aged in foudres (large oak casks) on its fine lees (the secondary lees formed after the wine is racked following alcoholic fermentation) for one year.
