Origins
The grapes for this “Terres de Gamay” blend were harvested from different selected terroirs of France, in Beaujolais and Comté Tolosan in the southwest. They were then vinified and blended together in order to obtain this very beautiful expression of the Mommessin style.
A touch of Syrah was added to the whole to enhance the expression fruity and balanced Gamay Noir.
Terroir
Terroirs are very diverse and all are made of granite soils.
Vinification and maturing
Grapes are vinified according to the Beaujolais method, with a semi-carbonic maceration. Aging in vats.
