Explain Southern Beaujolais

Southern Beaujolais is flatter, where the granite ebbs and the soils begin to look more like the limestone-clay of the Mâconnais
Good Chardonnay can be produced here, sold as Bourgogne or Beaujolais blanc, but the Gamay of southern Beaujolais is an entry-level red wine. Over half of the red wine production of the south is nouveau.

Q

Explain Carbonic maceration?

A

a winemaker will seal whole clusters or whole berries of red grapes in a tank and pump in carbon dioxide. In the absence of oxygen, intact whole berries undergo a short intracellular fermentation, metabolizing individual stores of glucose and malic acid to produce alcohol and carbon dioxide without the aid of yeast. During carbonic maceration, tannins and anthocyanins move from the skins to the flesh of each grape, giving the juice color. The grape can develop an alcohol level of approximately 2% before it dies and the cellular activity ceases. The grapes may then rupture due to an internal build-up of carbon dioxide, or the winemaker may simply press the juice off the skins; either way, the wine ferments to dryness with the normal activity of yeast.

17
Q

What is the only AOP allowed to make rose?

A

Beaujolais AOP

18
Q

Explain Semi Carbonic maceration?

A

Semi-carbonic maceration is more common in the region: in this technique, carbon dioxide is not added to the fermentation vat but produced naturally. Whole clusters at the bottom of the tank crush under the weight of those above and begin fermenting normally. As the carbon dioxide released by standard fermentation blankets the whole berries above, they begin to ferment internally. Certain tell-tale aromas—bubblegum, banana, or “pear-drop”—are often cited as evidence of carbonic maceration
