Discover the grape variety: Gamay noir à jus blanc
Supple, fruity reds to drink young with a clear ruby robe, supple tannins and a light palate, featuring signature aromas of strawberry, raspberry, banana (Beaujolais Nouveau with carbonic maceration) and floral notes (peony). Star of the ten Beaujolais AOC crus (Moulin-à-Vent, Morgon, Fleurie, Brouilly…) and Beaujolais-Villages AOC, the typical expression of granitic soils. Official synonym of French Gamay from Burgundy, as opposed to teinturiers (Bouze, Chaudenay, Fréaux).

The word of the wine: Terroir
Strictly speaking, the notion of terroir corresponds to the geological characteristics of a vineyard. However, when we talk about terroir, we take into account the soil, the climate (even the microclimate), the flora, the fauna, and the human factor that characterizes the practices that make up the art of the craft.
