Antécime 2022

Carbonic maceration of 8 days in whole bunches followed by 1 year and a half of aging in concret. Good for pairing with charcuterie and cheese.

Antécime is a French term, primarily used in mountaineering, that translates to “fore-summit” or “pre-summit” in English. It refers to a peak or summit that is located just before the main summit of a mountain. Essentially, it’s a secondary summit that you encounter on the way to the highest point.

Les Chemins de Traverse is located in La Chapelle-de-Guinchay, on 3.5 hectares of vines. Since 2014, the vision has been clear: wine is made in the vineyard! In the early years, Claudia and Louis-Damien focused their efforts on transforming the vineyard, and they are still working on it. Then, naturally, the evolution of the taste of the wines became apparent. Far from additives and chemicals, the wines fully reveal their personality. Far from standardization, they produce signature wines, exceptional. They age and refine the vintages with care, and above all, with time, for an optimal and magical tasting experience. They love offering you old vintages, witnesses to a unique vision of Beaujolais.
