Les Trois Copains 2022, Domaine Lachat

Small Producers, Big Wine: Les Trois Copains 2022 – Domaine Lachat

Looking for a natural Beaujolais with character, charm, and genuine warmth? Les Trois Copains 2022 from Dutch winemakers Anne and Thijs is a vibrant red from the heart of Régnié – a hidden gem in southern Beaujolais. 🌸🍒🍇

✨ Fresh, floral, and ripe red fruit
The wine opens with inviting aromas of juicy cherries, raspberries, and red currants, framed by floral violet notes and a touch of spice. It shows a shimmering ruby-red hue with purple reflections. The palate is reasonably firm and structured, with gentle yet present tannins, lively acidity, and a refreshing mineral streak—a tribute to Régnié's granite soils. For a lighter, more playful Beaujolais, try their other cuvée, Rookie.

Les Trois Copains is an example of natural winemaking at its finest: elegant, expressive, and unpretentious. Serve chilled for a characterful refreshing companion to summery dishes.
