Production Details For the reviewed 2021 wine, an indigenous-yeast pied de cuve was used; maturation was in stainless steel; the wine was unfiltered and made without added sulfites. The Quebec agent reportedly clarified that it should not be categorized as a natural wine.
Tasting Notes Marc André Gagnon's July 2022 review of the 2021 vintage describes Beaujolais and fruit-juice aromas, slight cloudiness, strawberry-gelatin flavors, lively acidity with a lightly tart sensation, and a juicy, almost plump palate.

Production Details Our "Mr. NO" cuvée is crafted from grapes produced near Quincié, where the slopes are steep, located immediately to the west of the Brouilly and Côtes de Brouilly Crus and which are renowned for their dense, classy Beaujolais Villages wines. Grapes from the area of Blacé, which links Brouilly with the Beaujolais Villages sector to the south, round out the blend to lend freshness, intense fruit and floral notes. As its name suggests, "Mr. NO" is vinified without any added sulfites or yeasts and is neither fined nor filtered. Therefore, a slight deposit at the bottom of the bottle is possible. Creation of a fermenting starter (using indigenous yeasts). Fermenting maceration in thermoregulated open vats for about 10 days. Aging in stainless steel vats for 6 to 7 months.
