Joujou 2023 is a sought after, vibrant and energetic natural wine crafted by Clos Bateau, in the Beaujolais region in France.

Specifically the Domaine is based in Lantignié, a prized village just north of Lyon that many state should be the 11th Cru of Beaujolais!

This red wine is made with 100% Gamay grapes, taken from 50 year old vines and TASTES AWESOME!

How does JouJou 2023 wine by Clos Bateau taste?

Full of energy with notes of Cherry Cola, bramble fruit, dark chocolate, vanilla and herbs. Really zings around your tongue, tasting electric. A real winner! Would work a treat with a killer cheese board or roast duck. This vintage has integrated volatile acidity, which lifts the wine to a new level.

About JouJou from Clos Bateau

Where it all started with our adventure, our baby Joujou, made from old gamay vines from next to our house where we let our sheep and pigs graze and work during the wintertime. Lots of manual labour from ourselves during the rest of the year, but this turns out to some great grapes. Terroir is a mix of decomposed granite, quartz and clay. Yield it not that high (like the rest of our plots and gives us only around 18Hl/ha). After taking the grapes from the land it will undergo a semi carbonic in concrete and stainless steel with a bit direct press gamay. After pressing we put it together in one big fiberglass dome where the wine has still room to dance and finish the fermentation. Then aged for more than 10 months before bottling in the same dome. Crazy energetic wine with a great acidity.

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!
