Thank you for respecting our discount policy. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePierre Cotton and Marine Bonnet are a modern Beaujolais power couple. Cotton went from a motorcycle mechanic to taking over his family estate in 2015, consisting mainly of vineyards in Brouilly, and began to make a name for himself immediately with his defined and exuberant style. His wife, Marine, joined him in 2020, adding her knowledge of viticulture and agronomy, to realize the full potential of their partnership in life and love: Bonnet-Cotton. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe duo have slowly revitalized the ecosystems in all of their certified organic vineyards by planting over 500 trees of carefully selected native species important to local wildlife. They're working to mitigate the effects of climate change on the sustainability of the Beaujolais region, which has seen drought and compromised harvests in many recent vintages due to rising temperatures and unpredictable weather events. By increasing biomass and diversity they have helped retain water and moisture in their vineyards, and stabilize both the soil and the average temperatures. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the cellar they seek to let their pure organic fruit shine and remain unadulterated by any chemical interventions. Partial or full carbonic maceration of 100% Gamay is typical of all their wines, with aging in large, century-old, neutral oak foudres originally built for aging beer. Sulfur is avoided during the winemaking process, unless a foudre is seen as problematic, and even then only at the end of élevage just before bottling, or not at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe first cuvée Pierre made, from a vineyard located right next to the Bonnet-Cotton winery in Odénas. This parcel of Côte de Brouilly is on a unique terroir of ‘corne verte,’ a particular soil blend of pink granite and diorite which Pierre claims is found nowhere else in the Beaujolais. '100% Cotton' remains the emblematic wine of the domaine: a structured, powerful Gamay that retains the freshness and easy-drinking quality of the best Beaujolais. Full carbonic maceration of whole clusters in cement tank, then aged in foudre for eight months. unfined, unfiltered, no sulfites added. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea juicy, in-your-face, low-intervention Bojo, screaming to be drunk while it's young, fun, and in the sun (preferably with a chill on it). An absolute gem for natural wine lovers, with plenty to enjoy for Beaujolais traditionalists. Notes of brambly black fruit pie, Earl Grey tea, grape soda, Chinese five spice, blacktop, and new leather jacket. Complex, vivacious, and a little naughty! This wine is limited and in-demand, since this progressive powerhouse couple is going nowhere but up as they harness the powers of nature to tackle the challenges of climate change in Beaujolais. Because of their hard work, you can just sit back, grill, and chill. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrape: Gamay \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoil: \u003c\/span\u003eSand and yellow granite\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eViticulture: Certified Organic \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairings: Burgers fresh off the grill with plenty of ketchup, BBQ ribs slathered in sticky tangy sauce, Grilled Balsamic-glazed Portobello mushroom\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bonnet-Cotton","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":42426202849326,"sku":"RED14638","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/onekourtwine.com\/products\/bonnet-cotton-100-cotton-cote-de-brouilly-beaujolais-france-2023","provider":"One Kourt","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
