Varietal
Gamay

Notes
VINEYARD: Les Trois Loups is Jonathan’s favorite vineyard, and the wine is an homage to his grandfather (who started the domain) and his father. It represents the three generations of the family who made Domaine Les Roches Bleues what it is today.

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 twelve months in 50-year-old foudres before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Sulfur is not used in the vinification process.
