Côtes d'Auvergne AOP

Seventy percent Gamay and thirty percent Pinot Noir grow on a steep, south-facing site with weathered basalt and fractured limestone. Spontaneous whole-cluster fermentation takes place in stainless steel, with ten to twelve days of maceration. The cap is worked three times. After pressing, the wine rests on its lees for twelve months in used 228-litre barrels. It is bottled without fining or filtration, with minimal added sulphur. The vines are certified organic by Ecocert.
