Gamay

The Beaujolais-Villages appellation is located in the north of the Rhône department and extends to the south of the Saône-et-Loire department. The vineyard extends over mostly granitic hillsides between the Saône River to the east and the Monts du Beaujolais to the west. Beaujolais-Villages can only be produced from grapes grown and harvested on the land of 39 villages covering a total of 5,750 hectares. The soil of the Beaujolais region, based on granite, is very different from Burgundy. The conditions are ideal for the cultivation of Gamay.

A traditional Beaujolais vinification with whole bunches under controlled temperatures (22 to 28°C) is applied. The grapes macerated for 8 to 15 days so that the juice would get strong aromas, good color and tannins from the skin.
