Croix Pennet is a natural wine crafted by Clos Bateau, in the Beaujolais region in France. This wild, vibrant red wine is made with Gamay grapes, which are taken on a South facing parcel, right on the border between Lantignié and Regnié and actually outside the home and domaine. Clos Bateau are fortunate enough to have a property with all their vines reachable from their back garden, as well as a cellar on the property too - getting both is actually very rare!

How is Croix Pennet by Clos Bateau made?

Croix Pennet sees 11 days of semi carbonic maceration, before part of it being aged in used Burgundy barrels for 8 months, and the rest in stainless steel, before being blended together.

What does Croix Pennet taste like?

Expect vibrancy, wildness and a smooth finish with lots of depth in this Gamay. Aromas range from ripe cherry through to creamy vanilla to dark chocolate, after a little air. SENSATIONAL

About Croix Pennet from Clot Bateau

When we look from our house to the mountain direction Regnie-Durette, there is a parcel of almost a half hectare that belongs to us. It’s quite funny because half of it is Regnie and the other side is Lantignie. Both villages calls it Croix Pennet, but only Lantignié uses 2 times the n. The exposition is south facing and it’s full of big granite rocks. It’s a terroir specific and every year this parcellaire wine have this Croix Pen(n)et taste which is hard to explain. We do some longer macerations, and we age 70% on Burgundy barrels.

NATURAL WINES BY CLOS BATEAU

Clos Bateau is a French wine domain run by Thierry and Sylvie Klok de Visser, who made the big leap in 2019 from the restaurant world in Amsterdam to follow their winemaking dream in Beaujolais and get closer to nature. They now take care of 5.5 hectares of vines in Lantignié, a village just north of Lyon, often considered a hidden gem of Beaujolais that some even believe should be the 11th Cru! In addition to their vines, they also gave a home to beautiful pigs, goats and chickens on the property.
Their vineyards are made up of old-vine Gamay (at least 50 years old) and a small amount of younger Chardonnay, which grows in a special microclimate in a tree-lined parcel. There’s also a small plot of Pinot Noir, aged in Qvevri buried in the ground outside their house and limited to just around 760 bottles. The vines are tended with a lot of care and passion, and what’s even cooler is that they also make their own ceramics using clay from their land and pigments from vine branches burned after pruning.
Clos Bateau wines are wild, herbaceous, and unmistakably their own. Without a doubt, they’re one of our top Beaujolais producers!
