Clotaire Michal

Clotaire is part of the new generation of the natural and organic Beaujolais wine scene. Former sommelier student, Clotaire had his first experience in the vineyard in 2003 at Clos Marie (Languedoc) where he worked for five years. He then moved to Rhône Valley to increase his knowledge by working alongside Thierry Allemand in Cornas. This lone wolf settled in Beaujolais in 2014 and is now dealing with 4.5 hectares on his own. He's producing 2 main cuvées of Beaujolais Village as well as a confidential small cuvée of a selection of the best berries aged for 3 years (first vintage 2016). Soils are plowed only once in winter and then grass is manually managed during the season. Yields are kept low, at around 30 hectolitres/hectare. The grapes are vinified in whole-cluster, go for a 12-day maceration and ferment with indigenous yeasts before being pressed.
