2018 Karim Vionnet 'RAWse' Rosé
2018 Karim Vionnet 'RAWse' Rosé
Region: Villié-Morgon < Beaujolais < France
Grape: Gamay
Vineyard/Cellar Stats: Organic farming, direct press, stainless steel; bottled unfined/unfiltered with zero added SO2; 12% ABV
Winemaker: Karim Vionnet
Born in Lyon to Arabic parents, Karim was adopted by a family in Morgon. His first career was a baker but eventually fell into wine, as one does in this region, and got the natural wine bug by working as a vineyard-hand and winemaker for some of the OG natty wine dudes like Guy Breton and Marcel Lapierre. Technically a negociant (like many of our producers who don't own any vineyards) Karim is responsible for the organic farming and vinification of 5 hectares of plots around Beaujolais, mostly old-ish vines (40- to 60-year-old). He makes a bunch of different Gamay cuvees, all with carbonic maceration, that are insanely good (and sought after). This is his first rosé, fresh and delicious, all bright, tart strawberry with a juicy watermelon chaser. It's a pretty serious, versatile wine that'll take you from interesting day-drinking to a grill situation that includes the whole veg to white meat gamut. Turkey burgers would be a fab pairing
