2023 Maupertuis Les Pierres Noires Subregion_Mercurey with intense red fruit characterProducer: Jean Maupertuis Region: Loire, France Varietal: Gamay Year: 2023 About the Producer: "Don't let his soft spoken and humble demeanor fool you: Jean Maupertuis is a natural wine legend. As a founding member of the defunct Domaine de Peyra, he was amongst the first generation pushing the limits of sans sourffre winemaking in the late 1990's. Bottles of Peyra are a hot commodity these days, and we can personally attest they are worth the hunt.
