Patrick Bouju – Lulu (Amphora) 2022

Lulu is a special natural wine crafted by Justine Loiseau & , (Domaine la Boheme) in the Auvergne region in . This very juicy red wine is made with their own  grapes (actually more specifically Gamay d’Auvergne), which unlike most of the Bouju range is taken from their own domain fruit.

 These are old vines, 80 year olds grown on basalt soil. Vinified with semi-carbonique maceration in Qvevri amphora and later aged in oak barrel.

Tastewise, this awesome red features excellent minerality that is very prominent from the volcanic soils it is grown on and amplified from it’s Amphora vinification, working great alongside black cherry hits and some delightful spice. An absolute WINNER!
