Description

Vincent says“This is one of the latest discoveries for me. Beaujolais can be such a swing between very natural & quite funky to almost a bit too serious. For me, this sits nicely in the middle of those styles. Much greater complexity than you’d expect from a run of the mill Beaujolais, and with a bit of age, it reveals its long-term potential.”

Michel Guignier has been a long-term believer in biodiversity and tends to his 7 hectares of vines with both certified organic and biodynamic practices. The wines are made in a completely hands-off fashion with no additions whatsoever nor any new oak used across his cuvées. Au Fils du Temps (meaning, as time goes on) shows that the aging potential is not readily associated with these styles of wines, with the vast majority of Beaujolais and natural wines generally consumed in their youth.
