Origin

Burgundy Gamay became a new regional appellation starting with the 2011 vintage.

The grapes used must come exclusively from the Beaujolais Crus (Brouilly, Chénas, Chiroubles, Côte-de-Brouilly, Fleurie, Juliénas, Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, Régnié, Saint-Amour). Gamay from the Beaujolais and Beaujolais Villages appellations cannot be used for this appellation.

Vinification and maturing

Maceration lasted around 15 days under controlled temperature (25-28°C.) with regular cap punching and pumping over. After pressing, the temperatures are lowered in order to preserve the fruit aromas. The wine is then transferred into stainless-steel tanks for a major part to obtain a good balance maximum fruit flavours and the delicate wood brought by the other part of the cuvée which was aged in barrels. Malolactic fermentation was totally completed to bring roundness to the wine.

Vintage : 2023

The ideal weather conditions in Burgundy in 2023, characterised by a favourable spring, a hot summer with cool nights, moderate rainfall and an early autumn harvest, played a key role in the high yields and exceptional quality of the grapes at harvest time.

The white wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and liveliness. Subtle aromas of white fruit, citrus and floral notes add to their remarkable freshness.

The red wines are powerful and well-balanced, with aromas of red and black fruit, as well as spicy and mineral nuances. The silky tannins add an elegant structure, promising harmonious ageing.

In short, these are expressive, fruity wines with very fine aromatic profiles.
