Croix Pennet 2022

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.
