Beaujolais Le Pré

Le Pré is an atypical parcel with a sandy terroir in Charentais. Pierre decided to isolate it as a single vineyard as an experiment to see what it would do on its own. All of the red wines at Cotton are vinified with native yeasts and without SO2 in concrete tanks, then age underground in century-old foudres that were originally built for holding beer, then were repurposed in the 1950s and 1960s.   All of the red wines at Cotton are vinified with native yeasts (without SO2) in concrete tanks and aged underground in century-old foudres that were originally built for holding beer, then were repurposed in the 1950s and 1960s.
