Details and technical informations about Winery Olivier Depardon's Cuvée Gabrielle Beaujolais Blanc.
Discover the grape variety: Codivarta
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden colour, a supple palate and preserved acidity, showing undemonstrative aromas of white flowers, citrus (lemon) and herbal notes. Very niche, rustic profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections, it belongs to ancient varieties of heritage value whose commercial distribution has almost disappeared. Rare, little-documented white variety grown in tiny quantities, studied for its genetic and historical interest.

The wine region of Beaujolais
Kingdom of Gamay (98% of the vineyard): fruity, accessible reds with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, banana (carbonic maceration), violet and sweet spices, supple tannins and juicy acidity. From festive Beaujolais Nouveau (3rd Thursday of November) to the 10 more structured, age-worthy Crus: deep earthy Morgon, sturdy Moulin-à-Vent, floral Fleurie, crunchy Brouilly. Some lively Chardonnay. 12,000 ha south of Burgundy, granitic soils.
The word of the wine: Amylic
Aroma reminiscent of banana, candy, and sometimes nail polish, particularly present in primeur wines. The amylic taste is reminiscent of the aromas of industrial confectionery and does not reflect a great expression of terroir.
