The grapes are hand-picked and sorted in the vineyard, then placed in the tank as whole bunches. The tank is sealed and left for 10 days to ferment naturally and release carbonic fruit aromas. The fruit is foot stomped, pressed on days 11 and 12, and then placed in five-year-old barrels to finish the fermentation process. The wine is bottled eight months later.
The nose of the gamay, so far, is fruitful at first before opening up to reveal berry flavours with earthy and gamey notes. The palate is full of red berry fruits with savoury undertones. The structure is long, earthy and lingering. With vibrant acidy and defined tannins, this wine is full of flavour.
Wonderful wine. Incredibly expressive and then beautifully persistent. Green herb, spice and game characters running through bright red cherry. Animal notes, in a good way. Untamed and neat at the same time. I’ve enjoyed this over a meal a couple of times now and it has performed joyously each time.
