Mathilde & Sylvere

One of our favorite grapes is Gamay, especially in the form of the wonderfully light and drinkable Beaujolais Nouveau. And we have known for a long time that this is why we want Séléné on board. Mathilde and Sylvère are masters of Beaujolais Nouveau, and not just according to us. But convincing them was not that easy. Their small Séléné vineyard covers just 4 hectares and the number of bottles is correspondingly limited. But several months, emails and conversations later, the time had finally come: we were allowed to sell the Séléné wines. This is a wish come true for us. And maybe also for you?

Beaujolais, France

Beaujolais—the home of “Vin Nouveau.” Vins Nouveaux (or “Vins de Primeur”) are the first wines to hit the market in the same vintage they were produced. These wines are typically fresh, juicy, uncomplicated, and light—just like the Beaujolais Nouveau from Mathilde and Sylvère of Séléné! Beaujolais Nouveau is produced exclusively from the Gamay grape variety. Every third Thursday in November is “Beaujolais Nouveau Day”: On this day, sales of this early-release wine begin, and the occasion is celebrated for five days not only in Beaujolais but also in bars and restaurants around the world. Geographically speaking, Beaujolais is part of Burgundy. However, since the wines differ significantly from those of Burgundy in both taste and production methods, Beaujolais is considered a distinct wine region.
