Cairn 2018

CAIRN, A new name for the cuvée “Made in Chénas”.

Cairns are piles of pebbles found along trails, on mountaintops, or even on more secret routes. This Chénas is true to the estate’s vision: the fruit of time and patience. Aged for six years in the cellar: three years in bulk, including one year in old oak barrels, then preserved in the silence of its bottle until it reveals its unique and sunny flavor. With its fruity notes, this Gamay evokes the maturity of the grapes in a sunny year. As with all our wines, the vintage is clearly defined. Finally, a beautiful freshness on the finish brings an original and unique signature to a Beaujolais Gamay. Let yourself be surprised!

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.
