L’oiseau de Passage - Beaujolais-Leynes - 2022
Village level Beaujolais from the northern reaches of the region along the border with Burgundy. Carbonic maceration and aged in traditional vessels this is a lightearted and easy drinking Gamay, though not to be confused with simple. The wines of Julien Frappa are always made with the highest quality organic grapes and with a lot of craft in the cellar. Round and fruit forward with strawberries and fresh hay.

L’oiseau de Passage is the brainchild of Julien Frappa, a committed organic vigneron and micro garagiste working in some of the most respected crus and terroirs of Beaujolais. Until recently Julien was a part time winemaker; also holding down a job at a Lyon museum while working with friends and mentors across Beaujolais to learn the natural farming techniques and cellar practices that make his wines a superb addition to the Barrel Down portfolio.
