Description
A young winemaker from Villié-Morgon, Thibault Ducroux is set to make a name for himself, as evidenced by his “little” Beaujolais cuvée “en roue libre” – a nod to his first love of cycling. Bright and crisp, the wine evokes fresh, crunchy red berries. A little gem of a wine, simple and perfectly balanced, which gives pride of place to indulgence. A lovely little Gamay gem!
