Gamay from 55 year old vines, grown on loam, clay and limestone soils. 80% de-stemmed by hand. Two week maceration in tank – then press juice and free run juice assembled before ageing in old barrels for 10 months. Not fined or filtered. Zero added SO2 at any stage.
A wonderfully expressive and vibrant Gamay with lots of depth. Packed with flavour, this has a dense mid-palate yet remains very fresh. Youthful wild berry fruit, a pleasing tart finish, and lingering tiny tannins. There is an underlying minerality to it as well. The aromas and flavours build in the glass, making this a fascinating expression of Loire Gamay.
