Playlist’s Song Pairing:

There's something inherently playful about "Hey Mami’s" whimsical lyrics and beats. It's this very quality that makes it a fun match for the Raisins Gaulois. Like the wine, the song is light and effervescent, yet it carries a certain depth within its lyrics and melody. The notes of the wine complement the sun-weary, slightly drunk quality of Meath's vocals. As you listen to the rhythm, a sip transports you to a relaxed afternoon in Beaujolais, taking you on an auditory and sensory experience. And just as the song documents a real-life situation, the wine, too, tells a story - of the vineyard, the grapes, and the people behind it.

Domaine Lapierre

Raisins Gaulois

Region: Beaujolais, France

Vintage: 2022

Grapes: Gamay

Color: Red

Hailing from the village of Morgon in Beaujolais, France, Domaine Lapierre is revered for its commitment to natural winemaking techniques. The winery, now under the ownership of Mathieu & Camille Lapierre, continues to represent the legacy of Mathieu’s father, Marcel Lapierre. Marcel, a pioneer in his own right, advocated for the production of wines that echo the rich terroir of Beaujolais, using only Gamay grapes and minimal interventions in the process. This approach, though often seen as traditional, illuminates the unique character of their wines, establishing the Lapierre family as a distinctive force in the world of natural wine.

The 'Raisins Gaulois' is a testament to this commitment. This red wine, light and perfumed, is a perfect example of the Beaujolais style. Made from Gamay grapes, it offers a fresh, red-fruit and candied aroma. Yet, in its simplicity lies its complexity. The wine delivers an uncomplicated everyday drink that can be enjoyed with or without food. And the production attributes are as natural as they come, with no added sulfur, reflecting the winery's philosophy of minimal intervention. The 'Raisins Gaulois' is a salute to the simple pleasures of life, wrapped in a bottle.
