Jerome Lacondemine, 'Sans Souffre', Beaujolais Villages Nouveau 2025

Jerôme Lacondemine makes Beaujolais Villages Nouveau from his vines grown on south-facing slopes around the town of Beaujeu. A lot of work and care goes into the vineyard so this is not just a fruity nouveau - it has more complexity and will evolve into an excellent Beaujolais Villages.

Although a relatively low-yielding year, the 2025 Nouveau vintage is believed to be the best since 2022. Deliciously fruity and crunchy in its first few months, the Lacondemine Nouveau has tannins that will soften over the course of 2026 if you can wait that long.

All wines are made using a traditional alcoholic fermentation and using no wood just stainless steel. There was no carbonic or semi carbonic maceration which is often used in Beaujolais Nouveau and Villages wines. The shortest amount of maturation before bottling.

The 'Sans Souffre' is bottled under vacuum, so no additional sulphites are required to protect the wine.
