Jean Gamay Noir Wine - 75cl 13%

The vines that produce Jean are mainly planted on the hills just outside Lyon.

Gamay Noir vineyards: The vineyards are mainly planted on granite slopes located around Lyon, with East & Southeast exposures.

Their roots are firmly anchored in granitic igneous rocks formed more than 320 million years ago, in the foothills of the Massif Central Hercynian.

The grapes are sorted in the vineyard and partially stemmed. Traditional vinification in temperature regulated vats between 20 and 30°C.

Long maceration to gently extract the polyphenolic material, stainless steel and cement vats. Maturation on the fine lees and malolactic fermentation during ageing.

It has roundness in the mouth with a pleasant sweetness. The balance is perfect. Readily accessible, Jean is full of freshness with a very soft finish.
