Technical sheet written by the domaine :

Grape variety: 100% Gamay Saint-Romain

Gamay: A black grape variety with white juice, it takes its name from the hamlet of Gamay in the municipality of Saint-Aubin, on the Côte de Beaune. Rarely found worldwide, this grape is planted on only 33,000 ha, of which 30,000 ha are in France, mainly in Beaujolais and the Loire Valley.

Gamay Saint Romain: This is a variant of Gamay found only in Côte Roannaise.

Vineyard
