*Pick up orders are available next day for pick upLocated at the southern edge of Beaujolais in the village of Anse, Domaine Saint-Cyr is managed by the amiable Raphael Saint-Cyr. A 4th generation vigneron, Raphael took over the estate in 2008. Upon taking the mantle of ownership, Rapael sold a large portion of vines around the winery and purchased vines in the crus of Morgon, Regnié, Chénas, and Moulin-à-Vent. The entirety of his holdings have been converted to organic farming. The cuvée’s La Galoche Blanc and Rouge represent the majority of his production. The grapes were hand-harvested from vineyards in Les Pierres Dorées. The oldest vines were planted in the 1950’s.
Balanced with fine minerality, this Chardonnay could have technically been labeled as Bourgone Blanc. Even so, Raphael prefers to stand behind the Beaujolais appellation. It was fully fermented and matured in stainless steel tanks. On the nose you find fresh aromas of green apple, crisp pear, and wet stone. The palate is crisp and refreshing.
