Rediscover Gamay with us !
TERROIRS
We are fortunate to have 3 parcels in Nantoux (En Bignon, Le Clou and another towards the Montagne de Cras) of very old Gamay vines. This other red grape variety of Burgundy is still too little known for its ability to create great wines. We are a few pioneers in Burgundianto produces this Gamay wine in the «Burgundian style» with the same care as Pinot Noi
