TASTING NOTE: Baking spice, plum, cherry, juicy with chalky tannin and bright acidity.

ELEVAGE: Grapes were foot crushed into a bin with one-hundred per cent stem inclusion and let to ferment with once daily punchdowns. After twenty days the grapes were pressed and settled juice was moved to stainless to complete fermentation, including full malolactic, which finished in July of 2023. In August of 2024 the wine was racked off its lees and bottled without fining or filtration.

MISCELLANEOUS: The two rows of gamay noir yielded only eight boxes--about two hundred and thirty pounds--of grapes in 2022. Instead of blending the wine away we bottled it alone as a kind of novelty. Just five cases and we're keeping one so really four. There's a little VA but the fruit is nice and the shale comes through loud and clear in this wine.
