What kind of wine is it

Bleu Cerise by Maison Chanterêves is an unconventional red wine classified as Vin de France. Made from a blend of Gamay and Aligoté, it stands out for its light and vibrant profile, focused on freshness and drinkability. Its sharp acidic backbone combines with a delicate yet persistent structure, offering a smooth and pleasantly refreshing tasting experience.

Where does it come from

The grapes for this label mainly come from parcels located in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune. The agricultural philosophy of Maison Chanterêves is based on a deeply artisanal approach, with great respect for the land. Cultivation follows uncertified biodynamic practices and pays particular attention to maintaining the vitality of the soil, in order to preserve the fruit’s original character.

How is it made

The winemaking process begins with extended pressing of about six hours, a key step in defining the wine’s style. Fermentation starts spontaneously by using a pied de cuve, without further corrective interventions. The wine then matures for twelve months in oak barrels of various sizes and completes its journey with bottling that excludes fining and filtration, to keep its aromatic integrity intact.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it shows a subdued color intensity, perfectly in line with its light nature. The aromatic profile opens with fresh floral aromas, enriched by notes of strawberry, ripe lemon and a delicate hint of peach. On the palate, it is smooth and dynamic, supported by a delicate yet persistent structure and the clear tension provided by Aligoté, finishing with a dry and savory aftertaste.

Food pairings

This lively and refreshing red pairs naturally with light appetizers and enhances flavors without ever overpowering them. Its lively character makes it an excellent partner for various raw fish preparations, such as tuna tartare, thanks to its great tension and clean finish. It also matches perfectly with vegetarian dishes and vegetable-based courses, as it highlights textures and keeps the palate refreshed.

When to serve it

It’s the ideal bottle to open when you crave a light and vibrant profile, perfect for an aperitif or a casual meal. Its aromatic freshness makes it especially suitable for occasions that call for an easy and precise drinking experience, without excessive structure. Thanks to its essential processing and the absence of filtration, it offers a pure expression of the fruit that instantly delights the palate.
