Red |
| Grape variety |
Gamay noir. All vines are older than 40 years.

| Soil |
Decomposed pink granite with a mix of sand and pebbles. The soil is poor with clay, so it is very filtering.

Typical Beaujolais’ wine making process with entire bunches, put into a 10-12 days’ semi-carbonic maceration followed by an immersion with the use of a weighted grill. There is a continuous control of the temperatures.

Tasting

Dark crimson colour. Expressive nose with violet, iris, fruity red-berries and blackcurrant aromas. A lot of substance and length. Very delicate.

Serve it chilled at 13°C with roast meats and terrines.

Very charming during its first summer, it evolves favorably during 2 to 3 years. |
