Karim Vionnet – The Arab In Your Wine
Still
Gamay
Sustainable
Karim farms about 8 hectare of vines, multiple plots within reach of Morgon, including spots in Chiroubles, Fleurie, and Regnie. That said, he is growing his holdings as his daughter joins him in the family business. All the gamay vines are bush plants, trained gobelet style without pruning (cases tied down).

A traditional Beaujolais: full carbonic maceration, no oak, minimal Sulphur. Spontaneous fermentation. Ample red fruit notes laced with notes of violet and underscored by sweet earthiness with silky tannins.
