La Baraquée Côte De Brouilly

Varietal
Gamay

Notes
VINEYARD: From old vines in Brouilly, planted on sandy pink granite.

VINIFICATION: Whole bunches are handpicked in small crates and selected in the vineyard. A two-week whole-cluster, semi-carbonic maceration is followed by a very gentle and slow pressing using the château’s old, wooden vertical press. The must is transferred into temperature-controlled cement tanks, where fermentation continues with native yeasts. After racking, the wine spends eight months in 50-year-old foudres before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Only a very small amount of sulfur is used at bottling.
