Northernmost cru of Beaujolais, Gamay sole grape on ~300 ha. Fine and perfumed signature reds with notes of cherry, strawberry, raspberry, peony, violet, sweet spices and mineral touch, silky tannins and silky mouth — the tenderest of the ten crus, to drink young or keep 3-5 years. 17 identified terroirs (granite, schist, clays). Valentine's Day marketing star thanks to evocative name.

Kingdom of Gamay (98% of the vineyard): fruity, accessible reds with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, banana (carbonic maceration), violet and sweet spices, supple tannins and juicy acidity.
