Selene Rose 2021

It was Sylvere’s uncle who first showed him the ropes in the winery whilst running the family domaine back in 1998, just as he was beginning organic conversion on their four hectares of Gamay and Chardonnay in the Beaujolais commune of Blace. Sylvere went on to study agriculture before stints working with Dominique Belluard in the Savoie and Jean-Claude Lapalu back home in Beaujolais. He started Selene in 2012, working loosely with biodynamic principles in mind, in accordance with the lunar calendar; but not pursuing strict certification.

This is a delicious rose from Sylvere & Mathilde Trichard; now farming 7 hectares of their own, the rose is from a newer parcel that finished organic conversion. A direct-pressed Gamay grown on granite over sandy clay, bright and fresh with great acidity.
