picture of

100% Gamay. Deep garnet red color. Complex aromas of red and black fruits. Fleshy, impresses with its fullness on the palate. Beautifully structured Gamay. Reveals its finesse after 3 to 4 years, when it reaches its peak. AWARDS: Gold Medal at the Concours International du Gamay 2020.

In Morgon, we find Gamay in one of its most powerful expressions. Delicious with grilled red meats, venison fillet, deer, and other hearty yet refined meats.

vinification

From the Puy de Bruyère in the Les Charmes climate, the vineyards average 50 years old. The soil consists of weathered stones with clay and is rich in iron oxide, known as roche pourrie. There are 10,000 vines per hectare. Handpicked and meticulously sorted, the grapes are destemmed and macerated for 10 to 12 days to extract the full potential from the grape. Aging then takes place in barrels.
