Laura Lardy, Gamay, Moulin-À-Vent "Le Mont" Beaujolais, France 2021

100% Gamay

Silky and fruity. This one is pure pleasure, especially when served chilled. It is also a Gamay that could benefit from a few years of age — if you can keep your hands off it!

The grapes are from 65 years old vines on sand and pink granite. They are hand-harvested and sorted, then spontaneously ferment as whole bunches in concrete tanks (traditional carbonic maceration). Slow press directly into old neutral oak barrels where the wine rests for 6 months.

No fining or filtration, minimum sulfur at bottling. Practicing organic.
