This 2022 is knockout! Still packed full of those uplifting cherry blossom and cherry fruit notes to come through. Bergamot, stewed strawberrry, cranberry and just a little liquorice. Such soft tannins, and a lovely lithe and elegant palate.

One of the famed Gang of Four (Breton, Jean Foillard, Jean-Paul Thevenet and Marcel Lapierre) credited with starting the natural wine movement around the village of Villi-Morgon in the 1980s, Guy Breton is rightly considered one of the most important Beaujolais producers in recent history. Sure, natural wine has become trendy McTrendy, but we prefer to concentrate on the intrinsic quality of the wines. From just 3ha around the cru of Morgon, Bretons Beaujolais are possessed of a fruity vibrancy, ethereality and tension that are a marvel to behold, and show what can be done when natural winemaking is allied to obsessively careful vineyard management and a deep understanding of the entire winemaking process.
