Description

Louis Tête Beaujolais Mémoria Rouge 2020

Louis Tête Mémoria has a deep purple appearance. The complex nose exudes aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry and a hint of violet florals with subtle touches of spice. The dry and medium-bodied palate is dry with a vivid acidity and silky tannins. Intense blackberry, blackcurrant and leather spice flavours in the mouth that lead into a long finish

100% Gamay Noir. The fruit for this wine comes from Louis Tête's vineyards in the southern most wine growing region in Burgundy, Beaujolais et Lyonnais. At Les Dépôts, a few kilometers from the historic capital of Beaujolais, the Tête family has been creating wines since the beginning of the 19th century.
