GAMAY

Gamay embodies the perfect alliance between freshness, deliciousness and authenticity. While emblematic of Beaujolais, this grape variety now reveals its potential across various terroirs, offering wines of surprising diversity.

In the ten Beaujolais crus (Morgon, Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent...), Gamay achieves its noblest expressions. On granitic and schist soils, it develops intense aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry), delicate floral notes and that distinctive minerality that marks great terroirs.

Carbonic maceration, the traditional Beaujolais technique, enhances the grape's fruit and freshness. However, more classical vinification methods, particularly in the crus, reveal Gamay's capacity to produce complex, age-worthy wines.

Beyond Beaujolais, Gamay thrives in the Loire Valley, notably in Touraine, where it offers a softer, fruit-forward expression. In Auvergne, on volcanic soils, it develops a unique minerality.

Our selection highlights both historical estates and new talents reinventing this grape variety. The growing commitment to organic viticulture allows for an ever purer expression of terroirs.
