Beaujolais
Red
Sold individually
Drink or Keep
A mid-range cuvée, Eau Forte is also one of Jean-Claude Lapalu's latest creations. Slightly pearly on opening, this wine, extracted from vines that give plenty of juice, expresses pure fruit, dense juice and structure. A refreshing, complex cuvée that flows from the source.
