Gamay de Fully

Alexandre’s village-level Gamay comes from a half-hectare’s worth of tiny south-facing parcels planted at altitudes between 480 and 750 meters, in highly acidic sandy gneiss soils, with an average vine age of 40 years. Fully’s distinctive terroir produces Gamay of remarkable gracefulness and lift, with hauntingly precise red fruits anchored by a robust stoniness. This fermented spontaneously with 40% whole clusters, and spent 10 months in stainless steel followed by six months in bottle.
