This sweet red wine has a deep red garnet colour with purple reflections and an intense, lingering bouquet, with cherry, sour cherry, cranberry notes and a hint of violet, cinnamon and white pepper. The palate is sweet with balancing high acidity, resulting in a pleasant and harmonious experience. It is not cloying and reveals lively fresh and dried fruit flavours with a hint of red jam and cinnamon.
From a plot of iron-oxide rich red clay and some limestone, the grapes are macerated in wholebunches for about 2 weeks in stainless steel. It is then aged in old 228lt and 300lt barrels for 9 months. The mix of the two Gamays balances fruit and more mineral/bloody notes. This wine is thoroughly charming.
