Domaine de la Sarazinière

White pepper, dark spice, kirsch and dried herbs appear with smooth, integrated tannins and a long savoury finish. Gamay comes from a south-facing lieu-dit in Bussières on deep alkaline clay-limestone soils. The vines were planted between the 1930s and 1950s and are seventy to ninety years old. Fully destemmed fruit receives a long, cool maceration lasting nearly one month. Maturation lasts ten to twelve months in neutral oak barrels.
