More informations about the variety Gamay noir

Gamay is a Burgundian grape variety that has existed since the 14th century. For fear of competition with the pinot noir of Burgundy, gamay was finally uprooted and planted in the Beaujolais region, from Mâcon to Lyon. These siliceous and granitic soils suit it perfectly, and it gives its best here. But it is also planted all over France, such as in Lorraine, in the Loire Valley, in Bugey, in Savoie and in Auvergne. Gamay is early and very productive and needs to be limited so that quality prevails over quantity. Short winter pruning of the shoots and high density of vines per hectare are the methods that allow it to produce very fruity, fresh and greedy red wines. Gamay is also very popular in red wine futures, and produces wines from the Beaujolais region with very interesting character and ageing potential. The AOCs Crémant-de-Bourgogne, Mâcon, Anjou, Touraine, Rosé de vallée de la Loire, Côtes-d'Auvergne, Saint-Pourçain, Bugey, Gaillac, Côtes du Luberon... and many vins de pays are proud of it. Today, about 36,000 hectares of Gamay are cultivated in France, including 22,000 hectares in Beaujolais.

More informations about the region of Vin de Pays

Coteaux de Coiffy is a PGI title for wines that are produced in the southwestern Part of the Haute-Marne department, in northeastern France, halfway between the wine regions of Burgundy and Alsace. Only a small amount of wine is produced here because of the difficult Terroir, and the PGI does not overlap with any AOC-level appellation. The IGP wines of Coteaux de Coiffy borrow heavily from their Burgundian and Alsatian neighbours in terms of Grape varieties. Pinot Noir, Gamay, Chardonnay and Auxerrois are all allowed in the Vineyards, as are Gewurztraminer and Muscat.
