  November 19, 2015 - So Beaujolais has become a whole carbonic maceration region in the past 20 years or so. All of our favorite everyday drinking Glouglou is made that way. The Metras, the Chamonard, they all do it. It's good,it's easy, even serious sometimes, maybe it might age a bit too. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the technique, and if there's a region where it makes sense, that's the Beaujolais.
  
  Now, only a very few are avoiding the whole cluster, semi carbonic style the Lapierre's and Foillard's are known for.
  
  One of the very few is Bruno Debize, who buys fruits from an organically farmed parcel in Morgon.
  
  He vinifies it the old way, with about 8 days on the skins, very little stems, with everyday punch downs and pump overs. Fermentation occurs naturally, of course.
  
  Moved into one oak foudre for over a year and a half, sulfured once at racking.
  
  Bruno extracts tannins, works his wines into serious, long lived tannic beasts that keep on improving with the years.
  
  While 2009 was a big, almost forward (for Bruno that is) wine, the 2010 is a real expression of a great vintage in the area. Lower alcohol, more supple, maybe less intensity from the fruits, certainly less ripeness, and that bright acidity Gamay gives you.
  
  This is classic Debize again, bottles you can leave in your cellar for years, and go back to often, witnessing the evolution of the wine, but it also drinks really well right now, with a minute in the decanter and a beautiful big dry aged ribeye.
