Sebastien Besson Beaujolais-Villages 2025 (750 ml)

100% Gamay

Sebastien is close friends with many of the new generation of winemakers in the area, many of whom come from family estates that have been around for generations. While their fathers (typically) carry the famous names, these winemakers are now branching out, maintaining the family domaine while also establishing their own brands. Sebastien is a 4th-generation winemaker at Domaine du Penlois, based in the small village of Lancié, surrounded by the renowned Crus of Morgon, Fleurie, and Moulin-à-Vent. His fruit is incredible—an amazing lineup of Chardonnays and, of course, a remarkable range of Gamay that we are honored to represent in the USA. All his wines undergo concrete fermentation, native yeasts, and only a touch of sulfites at bottling. Sebastien’s serious approach to Gamay produces dynamite results.  His Nouveau is no exception. Made with naturally carbonic macerated, perfectly farmed fruit, Sebastien’s Nouveau is in a league that competes with any top fresh-style red in France. And that vibrant Gamay character? It leaves you wanting more.
