Gamay

At the southern extremity of winegrowing Burgundy, the Beaujolais is a not-to-be-missed region that has gained international fame due to Beaujolais Nouveau. However, in addition to that festive wine, the Beaujolais also offers a remarkable ensemble of terroirs where the Gamay grape, which originated in the region, shows off all it has to offer like nowhere else.
The granite-based soils of the Monts du Beaujolais showcase the characteristics and full potential of this varietal. The climate, which is warmer than the rest of Burgundy, also has an influence on the characteristics of the wines, which boast intense fruit flavours and round mouthfeel.
