Beaujolais-Villages Vieilles Vignes, Château d'Emeringes 2024

4.500000000 star rating 2 Reviews
With bags of vibrant, fresh gamay character from an excellent producer with vines close to Juliénas, this versatile estate-bottled Beaujolais is more structured and firm in the cooler 2024 vintage than the preceding year, with black cherry fruit and aromas of violet and black pepper. Emeringes is a village perched above Juliénas and its vines, often laid out on steep slopes, offer a good source of Villages-quality Beaujolais. The château itself is at the top of the village, next to the church where Pierre David uses the cellars to make his wines.

Chateau D'Emeringes

Located in the villages, Château d’Emeringes borders Chénas and Fleurie, and is just north of Juliénas. Vines have been grown here since the fourteenth century, but Château d’Emeringes was formed in the mid-20th century and has been in the same family for three generations.

The family vineyards are all on optimum Beaujolais-Villages sites, with sandy granitic soils and south-east-facing slopes. The family grows 15 acres of gamay, with vines at least 40 years old, as well as small amounts of 30-year-old chardonnay vines to make white Beaujolais. The age of the vines, combined with careful vineyard management such as the restricted use of pesticides, ensures they produce grapes of the best possible quality.

In the winery, headed by Pierre David, production is very much in line with traditional Beaujolais practices such as semi-carbonic maceration. Their wines are in a classic Beaujolais style, with wonderful full body and an ageing potential that puts them more on a par with cru Beaujolais.
