Terroir
Unique Monopole of the Appellation, this 2.3 acres (0,92 hectares) vineyard is perfectly located down the windmill, symbol of the Cru.
Based on a dry, hard, granitic soil, this unique terroir produces outstanding Gamay offering structured, mineral, long-lasting wines as iconic as the greatest French wines. -
Vinification and maturation
The fermentation takes place in a single concrete vat, in order to isolate the parcel and to express the unique characteristics of its terroir.
The entire system is thermo-regulated. Wine is aged in oak barrels (10% new oak) for 12 months. Slight filtration and no fining. -
Food Pairings
Appearance: beautiful dark ruby red colour with purple reflections.
Nose: fine and elegant, delicate notes of blackberry and black fresh cherry featuring slightly spicy, toasty notes.
Palate: : powerful and ample on the palate with spicy notes notably pepper and liquorice, slightly roasted and black fruit flavours (black cherry). Rich tannins, spicy and mouth-watering persistent finish.
