THE INEVITABLE

LES PARCELLAIRES

Gamay Noir

MÂCON-IGÉ

«Exceptionally, We were forced to assemble another parcel, Climate «In red» with our «Mont de Pierre», which obliges us to remove the name of the Climate, to respect traceability. The 2021 vintage was heavily impacted by frost and we lost 65% of our harvest.”

From the Gamay grape variety, the oldest vines are vinified in Burgundy with grape destemming. During the maceration period – at 18°C for 10 days – we carry out reassembling to gently remove colors and tannins from the skins. This vintage, essentially made from old grapes, gives a fruity and rounded wine, as well as a beautiful body with a cherry-red color that is typical of the Gamay grape.
