A special cuvée made only in exceptional years, of which 2023 was deemed to be in this part of Beaujolais. 'Champ de Cour' is a single small parcel at just 0.4 hectares that ordinarily serves as a component of 'La Vigne de Mon Pere'. Here we see a hyper-specific expression of terroir, this parcel singled out to make its own unique wine owing to its sandy decomposed granite soils having a high content of the manganese minerals - something closely associated with fine structure and ageability of wines from this cru. 

The most delicately-extracted of all her Moulin-à-Vent wines, here we have beautifully elevated floral aromas coiling around spices of peppercorn and capsicum flesh, with a pronounced petrichor minerality. Sleek and plush across the palate, pretty red and black fruits tail into an elegant finish of iron and wet stones.

From massal selection vines between 40 and 70 years of age, grapes were placed in large concrete tanks so go through a semi-carbonic maceration over a fortnight, the weight of the grapes at the top crushing those at the bottom of the tank and with just a couple of punch-downs towards the end of fermentation. It was then pressed off, half into old 220-litre barrels and half into fibreglass cuve to rest for 10 months, with no filtration before bottling. Only 1300 bottles made in total.
