THE WINES
The Gamay block is carefully farmed, with particular attention to canopy management and fruit thinning. Picked in two passes which are both split to 8 and 21 days of maceration, with 65% whole bunches. The monovarietal Gamay bottling is selected from the four barrels which best showcase the season and vineyard, intended to speak as a Cru expression.
Such a lifted and pretty release, contrasting the more broody 2022. Prosciutto, cola and fruits of the forest pop aromatically, the crunchy palate a weave of fruity and savoury flavours, balancing wild blackberries, strawberries and raspberry with a whole bunch note evocative of boot polish. Fine and ripe tannins give great length adding to a ferrous mineral drive, a high mark for the Gamay release from this vineyard.
