Gamay Saint-Romain - Syrah Blend

Gamay Saint-Romain (2024 vintage) and Syrah (2025 vintage).

Gamay Saint-Romain: hillsides of the Monts de la Madeleine, at an altitude of 400 m, on granitic sands. 25-year-old vines, yield of 20 hl/ha.

Syrah: somewhere in the South, where the mistral blows, on a sandy-loam terroir. 20-year-old vines, yield controlled at 30 hl/ha.

Organic farming, hand-harvested in small 15 kg crates.

Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, in stainless steel tanks for the Gamay Saint-Romain and in terracotta amphorae for the Syrah. Free-run and press wines are blended.

Aged for 18 months in used barrels for the Gamay, and 10 months for the Syrah.

Neither fined, nor filtered, nor sulfited: there is no "contains sulfites" mention on the label because the wine contains none. Bottled at the estate (75 cl and magnum), with a natural cork sealed with beeswax.

A silky and velvety mouthfeel, with beautiful suppleness.

The palate then opens up, indulgent, dense and fruity: the freshness of Gamay on granite, the depth of dark fruits and the spicy touch of Syrah.

Light, almost melted tannins, and real length.

Grilled rib steak or duck breast, Morteau sausage, lentils with bacon, sautéed mushrooms, aged cheeses such as Saint-Nectaire.

Serve at around 15-16°C.
