100% Gamay
Soil/Terroir: Vineyard of « Le Conroy” with a soil made up of broken down pink granite and diorite, eroded over eons from the slopes of Mont Brouilly above, over a deep granite bedrock.
With his fermentation notes from the 1972 vintage as our touchstone, the hand harvested grapes, after being chilled overnight, were placed into a concrete vat under cover of CO2 and were left untouched for 14 days without pump overs nor punch downs for what Jules Chauvet called a fermentation aromatique . After 14 days the vat was emptied and pressed, with the must finishing fermentation in a steel tank, with a further eight months on lees.
