100% Gamay hand-harvested from 25-30 year-old vines grown in friends' parcels in Touraine and Beaujolais and whose soils are primarily clay, limestone and silex atop Blois Chalk. The grapes undergo a slow, direct-press into tank (old demi-muid/concrete tank) where they undergo spontaneous fermentation (ambient yeasts; no temp. control) in addition to full malolactic fermentation. Élevage in tank lasts around 7 months before being bottled unfined, unfiltered, with a minimal addition of SO2.
