Bourgogne Gamay Noir - Cuvée Spéciale
At the beginning of 2008 we launched a new prestigious wine: the Bourgogne Rouge Gamay noir.
This cuvee is produced with grapes from some of our better parcels, that express all their character from the granitic soils they grow on.
This wine is aged 12 months in oak barrel and comes with an upscale, traditional labeling.

Tasting Notes
An intense ruby color, a wine with very ripe red fruit aroma, very deep in the mouth. The tanins are strong and will mellow with the years in your cellar. Serve at 15-16° with red meat, game, or strong cheeses.
