Gamay

Sweet-berry, spice and loamy-soil aromas introduce a medium-bodied, fleshy and lively red with sweet, powdery tannins. The cuvée combines the L’Héronde, Le Pavé and Brulhiés terroirs. Whole-bunch semi-carbonic maceration with indigenous yeast lasts ten to twenty-one days, followed by twelve months in barrels and demi-muids and twelve months in tank. The wine is bottled unfiltered.

Gamay grows on Brouilly’s blue-stone diorite soils. The grapes are harvested by hand. Vinification includes full whole-bunch carbonic maceration with indigenous yeasts and barrel ageing. Deep cherry colour and garnet reflections accompany peony, Burlat cherry, black fruit and toast. The profile is structured and deep, and the wine contains thirteen and a half percent alcohol.

Gamay comes from the south-facing L’Héronde site on blue granite in Côte de Brouilly. Plum, cherry, pomegranate and raspberry appear with forest floor and rose. The texture is rounded, with bright acidity, fine tannins and a long floral finish. Fermentation begins spontaneously with whole or partly destemmed fruit. The wine rests for twenty-four months, including twelve months in barriques and demi-muids, and is bottled without fining, filtration or added sulphur dioxide.

Red fruit and blood orange appear with crisp acidity and sapid fruit tones. The palate is balanced and cohesive, with a bright, vigorous finish. Violet is also present, together with medium body, pronounced mineral acidity and a long, compact finish. Gamay forms the entire wine, with fruit blended from four plots. The wine is bottled at 13.5 percent alcohol.

A deep, silky-smooth profile includes black cherry, violet, wet earth, smoky berry character and spice. The wine is concentrated and elegant, with medium-to-full body, velvety texture, fine depth, lively acidity and a sapid, fresh finish. A serious tannin structure, drive and energy are also present, together with loamy soil and potpourri. This is Gamay from Fleurie in Beaujolais.

Peony and wild raspberry rise over pomegranate and redcurrant in a light, perfumed profile. The palate is graceful and lifted, with whisper-fine tannins giving gentle shape rather than weight. A mineral grip gathers toward the finish, joined by pink peppercorn and a final return of fresh red fruit. Serve slightly cool with roast chicken, charcuterie, grilled salmon or mushroom dishes.

Dried cherry, licorice and savoury spice emerge with a pronounced flinty note. Cool and sleek on the palate, the wine carries impressive concentration without losing its light-footed Beaujolais character. Fine acidity keeps the fruit precise while stony mineral detail tightens the frame. The finish is long, structured and harmonious, lingering on dried red fruit, spice and crushed stone.
