The Notes, Gamay, Pays D'Oc, France, 2024
Product description
Vibrant, easy-drinking with juicy red fruit (raspberry, cherry, wild strawberry) and a floral edge (violets?!). Smooth and light-bodied with soft tannins.
Grapes are sourced from granite-rich soils in eastern France, northwest of Lyon — a classic terroir for Gamay that enhances aromatic lift and freshness.
Hand-harvested early to preserve acidity, the fruit reflects the region’s cool climate and ideal conditions for producing energetic, expressive reds. Traditional 'carbonic maceration' is employed - which means whole berries ferment without oxygen before gentle pressing and a short skin contact period, preserving vibrant fruit and fine tannins.
