Terroir

Grown at 450 meters (1,400 feet) in granitic hills, the vines for this wine are 40 years old.

Gamay Saint-Romain is an old local variant of Beaujolais Gamay. While its exact origin remains uncertain, the earliest records trace it back to Benedictine monks in the 13th century. Planted on well-draining granitic soils shaped by the erosion of the volcanic Massif Central, it ripens later than its Beaujolais cousin, delivering subtle spicy peppery notes while retaining vibrant natural freshness.

Vinification

50% whole cluster fermentation. Native yeasts. 75% short 4-day maceration in concrete and stainless steel, 20% 12-day maceration aged 10 months in concrete, and 5% short maceration aged in amphora.

Tasting Note

‘Gamé’ shows a deep crimson-raspberry hue with a light robe, the result of short maceration, almost like a deep rosé. Aromas of fresh raspberry, wild strawberry, ginger snap spice, aspirin, and white fl owers lead into a lively palate where raspberry meets a bright citrus edge.The result is an exceptionally fresh, vibrant, and easy-drinking light red, perfect as an aperitif or effortlessly paired with a duck roast on a relaxed weeknight dinner.
