Moulin à Vent La Bruyère - 2022 - Raphaël Saint-Cyr
Domaine Saint-Cyr
On notes of cherry, raspberry, strawberry, pepper, hint of leather... The palate is consistent with the nose, crunchy and structured texture, it is probably the wine with the most depth among the cuvées of Saint Cyr. Long and pure finish.

100% Gamay from 55-year-old organic vines planted on the La Bruyère single-plot, close to the village of Thorins, on pink granitic soils. Manual harvest, with yields around 35 hl/ha. Vinification: in whole bunches, carbonic maceration for 21 days, fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Soft pressing, 10 months of aging, half in vats and half in old casks. Bottled at the estate without fining or filtration, just a micro-dose of sulfur at bottling.
Raphaël Saint-Cyr
Raphaël Saint-Cyr is at the head of Domaine Saint-Cyr, located in Anse in Beaujolais. The history of the family estate dates back to 1949, when Pierre Saint-Cyr, Raphaël's great-grandfather, settled on this small farm. How far they’ve come over the generations! The estate has now 23 hectares of vines in the Beaujolais, Chénas, Morgon and Moulin-à-Vent appellations. Respectful cultural...
