Indigenes (indigenous) is Mai’s love letter to Blacé, the charming village where her winemaking journey began in the heart of Southern Beaujolais. This isn’t your typical glou glou Gamay - far from it. A month-long maceration has given this wine depth, structure, and the kind of complexity that hints at serious ageing potential. Bold and layered, it’s the kind of bottle that calls for more than casual sipping. Pair it with a serious charcuterie/cheese board, and let it steal the spotlight.

This is a medium bodied natural red wine.

About La Mai Wines

Mai Lam, a French-Vietnamese winemaker, spent her early adult years working in Singapore. She found solace in the city’s dynamic food and wine scene, where late-night conversations over natural wines sparked a curiosity that slowly grew into obsession. She packed her bags, traded in the skyscrapers for scenic vineyards, moving to Beaujolais - a place she had long admired for its raw, coarse energy. In Beaujolais, Mai met Sébastien Morin and the two instantly clicked. Sébastien became both her mentor and partner, and together they began crafting wines that championed low intervention, long macerations, and slow presses. Mai’s fierce determination and sharp intuition brought her to her first bottling in 2024, an unapologetic reflection of her character: bold, complex, and deeply kind-hearted.
