The Character
Tasting Notes Made from 100-percent Gamay Noir, the wine is produced through carbonic maceration, a technique traditional to Beaujolais wherein the grapes are fermented on the stems in a fully enclosed vessel filled with CO2 to macerate the skins. The resulting wine is bright and juicy with flavors of strawberry balanced by savory herbs and earthy mineral notes. Medium-bodied with light tannins, it’s a wine that would pair exceptionally well with anything on the autumn table.

The Story
The Gamay Noir grape, which hails from the Beaujolais region and also flourishes in the Loire Valley of France, has witnessed a rapid popularization in growth in the U.S. over recent years. A fact that that makes us very happy as Gamay is now such a large part of our production (second only to Pinot noir!).
