Description
Bourgogne Gamay became a new regional appellation as of the 2011 vintage. The grapes 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 vineyards of the Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages appellations cannot be used in the case of this new appellation. Our approach is to produce a wine which focuses on fruit and freshness with consistent quality.
Vinification & Ageing

Wine tasting
Tasting Note
Our Bourgogne Gamay 2023 has a deep ruby colour. Its nose reveals quite a complex bouquet with notes of red fruits. On the palate, the wine is very fresh, typical, structured and with harmonious tannins. A fine, subtle, elegant vintage with a nice persistence.
