2017 Domaine Marcel Lapierre 'Raisins Gaulois', Vin de France (750 mL) Gold 80% Cabernet FrancWINEMAKER'S NOTES: This cuve takes the Vin de France appellation, because the Beaujolais governing body decided to do away with the Vin de Pays designation in Beaujolais, leaving only the appellations and Vin de France. The wine is still almost all from the cru of Morgon, with a little bit of A. O. C. Beaujolais as well.
