Grape variety

Gamay

At the southern extremity of winegrowing Burgundy, the Beaujolais is a not-to-be-missed region where the Gamay grape, which originated here, expresses itself like nowhere else. Traditionally an area for viticulture, Jarnioux and its hilly landscape offer lovely panoramas overlooking the Saône River valley. Overlooking the village that bears its name, the silhouette of the 12th-century fortress and chateau stands proudly amid the surrounding vineyards.
Here, the vines grow in calcareous clay soil that is sedimentary in origin, making it similar to Burgundy's soils.
The climate which is a little warmer than in the rest of Burgundy, the nature of the soils and the work of men allow the Gamay grape to express all its character.

Tasting
