A blend of equal parts Gamay and Syrah from organically farmed vines, planted on granitic soils and harvested by hand. Naturally vinified with no additives: direct press for both varieties, fermentation and short aging in tanks before bottling at the estate without fining or filtration, with just a micro-dose of sulfur (1g/hl). This cuvée, produced for only the second time, is made in years of plentiful harvests.
