Presentation
In the heart of Beaujolais, Château Blaceret Roy is a historic estate where tradition meets modernity to produce wines of authentic character and finesse. Planted on classic granite soils, the vineyard is ideally suited for Gamay, the emblematic grape of the region. The estate embraces a sustainable approach to viticulture, favoring careful soil work and minimal chemical intervention to respect the natural balance of the land. Manual harvesting ensures rigorous grape selection for each vintage. In the cellar, vinification follows traditional Beaujolais methods, notably semi-carbonic maceration, which enhances fruit expression and suppleness. Some cuvées are aged in oak barrels, adding structure and complexity. The wines stand out for their freshness, elegance, and vivid red fruit and spice aromas a true expression of Beaujolais.
