Yann Bertrand Fleurie 'Vielles Vignes' 2021 Beaujolais, France

Gamay

Beaujolais, France

Yann Bertrand is the son of a vigneron in the Beaujolais town of Fleurie, but wasn’t interested in winemaking until he became immersed in the natural wine scene of the French Alps. Eventually, he found himself learning how to make wine from Beajolais legends like Jean Foillard and Yvonn Metras. Some of his wines are made with purchased fruit, but Yann holds fast to organic and biodynamic winemaking principles, and is highly selective with these grapes (even picks them himself). The wines are fermented in concrete, carbonic, and whole cluster. No sulfur is used at any point in the winemaking process. These wines rip.
