Presentation
A family estate for several generations, Domaine Sancy was taken over in 2014 and now has 9 hectares of old vines in three great Beaujolais crus: Juliénas, Chénas, and Saint-Amour. Here, traditional Beaujolais vinification is imposed: semi-carbonic maceration in whole bunches, gentle extraction, and highlighting fruity and floral aromas. The wines are gourmet, with notes of cherry, violet, and sweet spices, with a beautiful length and freshness characteristic of granite terroirs. The estate's uniqueness: Vinification without inputs or added yeasts, favoring natural and spontaneous fermentations.
