Country:France
Climate:Gamay, a grape with great versatility, thrives in the region's semi-continental climate, which features long, hot summers and cold winters. The grape has the potential to produce wines as fine, elegant, and complex as many Burgundies, as well as wines of great force and structure with nuances more closely linked to their neighbors across Lyon in the Northern Rhône Valley.

Vineyard Size:1 ha
Fermentation:Sorting is directly implemented in the vineyard. Grapes go in concrete tank for 10 to 25 days of carbonic maceration. Once malolactic fermentation is completed, racking is performed. No pumping. Everything is carried out by gravity.
