Importer Notes

vertical and deeply territorial expression here

to allow natural yeast fermentations and to reduce the doses of sulphur in the cellar

vivacity and not least

a presence strong enough to counter the lavish extract and to keep the wines from feeling gooey or too heavy

Wilhelm Weil

as it was the site of our first Gamay Noir harvest back in 2011

and an incredible wealth of experience

then aged in a combination of stainless steel and neutral oak to preserve the vibrant fruit and express the unique terroir
