Unveiling the Truth
Are you ready for the big reveal? Today, we are thrilled to introduce you to the 2020 vintage of Baron Deus Larance, a Bru from Bo, France. This extraordinary wine hails from a region just south of Burgundy, known for its rare and famous Gamay grape. Within Bo, different quality levels exist, ranging from B nvo to Regional Boet and finally, the prestigious 10 Boet Cru. It is from these Cru vineyards that we find wines like this one – bolder, with black fruit notes and a touch more tannin.
The journey of this wine begins in the vineyards of C de, where ancient goblet-burning vines stand tall. A traditional age-old winemaking process combines slow and light plunging with a long maceration period before pressing. Finally, it finds its rightful place in French HW barrels, where it ages gracefully for 12 months.
