Terroir and breeding

The vines are located in the commune of PRISSE, on a clay-granite and limestone soil. The exposure is south-west on hillsides and plateaus with maximum sunshine. It is a 100% GAMAY black rosé with white juice. Average age of the vines: 40 years. Simple guyot pruning, 4 to 5 eyes, green harvest, soil work, organic contribution. All the estate's wines come from a respectful agriculture within the framework of a reasoned protection. Careful sorting of the vines and a second time in the vatting room if necessary. Hand-picking, reception of the grapes by gravity. Semi-carbonic fermentation in concrete vats for 6 to 8 days at a controlled temperature of 28 to 30°, regular pumping over. After devatting and pressing at the end of fermentation at 20°.

Tasting notes

Dark ruby colour with purplish tints. Aromas of small red berries, blackcurrant, raspberries with spicy nuances. Round wine with ripe tannins, revealing a fleshy and velvety structure. Served slightly chilled at 14 to 15°, it goes perfectly with cold meats, grilled meats, roasted meats and soft cheeses.
