Bonnet Cotton 'Bas Les Masques' 2022 Beaujolais, France
Producer: Marine Bonnet & Pierre Cotton
Grape: Gamay
Place: Beaujolais, France
Story: After working for a short stint as a motorcycle mechanic, in 2014, Pierre Cotton reclaimed one hectare of Côte de Brouilly from his family to make his first cuvée Inspired by tasting wines with young Beaujolais compatriots Yann Bertrand, Jules Metras, and Keke Descombes, Pierre’s wines are all farmed organically and vinified with precious little sulfur (if any at all – some cuvées are without any – and never more than 10g/l). Following the success of his first wine, Pierre fully took over the family domaine in 2015. Now, Pierre has expanded the breadth of the winery’s vision and focus with input from his partner, Marine Bonnet, who officially joined the domaine in 2020, resulting in the domaine’s name change to Bonnet-Cotton.
Mostly Gamay, with some varietally-undisclosed “white juice” blended in. Grapes are hand-harvested from several parcels that use organic practices, including some from Bonnet-Cotton, as well as friends Domaine les Souriants, Domaine les Garçons, Romain Jambon, and Baptiste Bertrand. Fermented and aged eight months in concrete tanks; unfined, unfiltered, no sulfites added.
