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 : 2025

The 2025 vintage was shaped by pronounced climatic contrasts. A spring rich in rainfall helped build essential water reserves, while the particularly hot summer accelerated the vine’s growth cycle. This combination led to an early harvest, carried out with precision to preserve the grapes’ natural balance.

Picked from mid‑August onward, the crop stood out for its impeccable health and perfectly controlled ripeness. Fermentations unfolded smoothly, allowing for a pure and precise expression of the grape variety.

The 2025 Grande Sélection Pinot Noir embodies a demanding vintage, where mastering ripeness and honoring the fruit were key to revealing a wine of great accuracy, combining concentration, freshness, and harmony.
