## About this wine

Le Bojo Sutra is a cheeky, natural Beaujolais Nouveau crafted by Sarnin-Berrux, a micro-négociant house founded in Monthélie in 2007 by Jean-Pascal Sarnin and Jean-Marie Berrux. Leaving behind careers in finance and advertising, the duo bonded over a shared passion for low-intervention winemaking. The wine's playful name and minimalist line-art label, depicting stylized intimate figures, reflect their joyful approach to wine, though the artwork proved controversial enough to be censored in some conservative export markets.

## Interesting facts

- The wine's cheeky name and minimalist line-art label were censored in conservative export markets like Canada.
- Co-founder Jean-Pascal Sarnin was a former CFO on the Paris Stock Exchange before pursuing natural winemaking.
- Sourced from 30 to 50-year-old old vines in Régnié, offering far more depth than typical industrial Beaujolais Nouveau.

## Food pairing

The bright, enlivening acidity and low tannins of this carbonic Gamay cut beautifully through the richness of charcuterie and creamy cheeses. Its earthy undertones, derived from old vines on granite soils, make it an exceptional partner for mushroom-forward dishes and roasted poultry.

## Wine making process

This cuvée is sourced from organic 30 to 50-year-old vines grown on granite and sandy-schist soils in the commune of Régnié. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand. In the cellar, 100% whole-cluster grapes undergo a quick, traditional semi-carbonic maceration with native yeasts in concrete tanks. The wine is made with zero added sulfur, no commercial inputs, and is aged briefly on its fine lees in neutral stainless steel before being bottled unfined and unfiltered by gravity.
