Domaine Yohan Lardy Vin de France Gamay “Poppy” 2024 | Beaujolais

The Wine

Named after the poppy flower, a symbol of vibrancy and energy that perfectly suits the wine. Joyous, juicy and light on its feet, with crunchy red berries, soft spice and featherweight tannins. Made from organically farmed fruit with gentle extraction and minimal sulphur at bottling. Serve with a slight chill alongside charcuterie, roast chicken or just good company.

The Producer 

“The Master of Moulin-a-vent” - James Suckling

Vintrepid’s first producer and one dear to our hearts. I worked with Yohan for several years in London and couldn’t believe he was not represented in Australia - and vintrepid was hence born. Yohan bottles micro-cuvees from tiny plots of very old vines in Moulin-a-vent, Fleurie and Chenas.

There is also a simply joyous declassified bottling called “poppy” that more than matches the energetic and effusive nature of the man himself. The vines are worked organically and meticulously with biodiversity meaning that insecticides are not required. Cellarwork is all natural with just a small amount of sulphur at bottling.
