The origin of this bottle, produced for the first time with the 2021 vintage, is the collaboration between Jean Max, the alias of Maxime Barrot, and the producer Philippe Thomas with his wife Aurélie. The couple works in organic and biodynamic farming within the municipality of Saint-Germain-Nuelles, located about thirty kilometers northwest of the city of Lyon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJean Max Beaujolais ‘Saint-Germain’ comes from only Gamay grapes grown under organic and biodynamic regimes on soils characterized by an abundant presence of schist and white limestone. The vines are between 70 and 90 years old and are located within the municipality of Saint-Germain-Nuelles, from which the label takes its name. After the manual harvest of the grapes, \u003cstrong\u003ewhole cluster fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e follows with spontaneous alcoholic fermentation and carbonic maceration. Once the fermentation process is complete, the mass is aged for a few months in wooden barrels until the final bottling, carried out with a minimal amount of added sulfites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the Beaujolais ‘Saint-Germain’ from \u003cem\u003evigneron\u003c\/em\u003e Jean Max displays a ruby red robe with garnet reflections. The aromatic bouquet expresses sensations of plum, berries, and cherry, combined with hints of violet and spicy notes. The tasting shows \u003cstrong\u003erefined and elegant\u003c\/strong\u003e, in excellent balance between the intensity of the fruit and the juicy freshness, with a soft tannic texture complementing it. A delightful Gamay in youth but capable of sustaining a few years of aging in the cellar if properly stored.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean Max","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55591072694656,"sku":"23V101480","price":48.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/1860\/5335\/files\/beaujolais-saint-germain-jean-max-2023-305294_664d9b9a-fb8a-4b52-b335-62d7e31b1fcc.png?v=1793219935","url":"https:\/\/checkout-ca.callmewine.com\/products\/beaujolais-saint-germain-jean-max-2023","provider":"Callmewine UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
