Libre Pensée comes from 80-year-old vines planted on sandy granite soils. It goes through semi-carbonic fermentation and sees no added sulfur

After 5 years in Cornas with Thierry Allemand, Clotaire Michal settled for a while in Saint Joseph where he began to produce his first bottles, which were obviously immediately noticed! It is now in Beaujolais that it is rampant, in St Etienne la Varenne (very close to Jean Claude Lapalu for example). He produces only two cuvées there and there too, he excels... In the vineyard, no chemical inputs, just like in the cellar for that matter. Here, we accompany the vinification, quite simply. The result speaks for itself, elegant and fine Gamays, with very good aging potential, which display all their majesty after a little aeration.

Winemaking: 15-day whole cluster fermentation in a 3-year-old Foudre of 40hl using only the naturally occurring indigenous yeasts. On the 16th day the grapes are pressed and transferred back to the Foudre to complete fermentation. A very low dose of sulfur was added at the press, and no further sulfur additions were made during the vinification and ageing of this wine.
