Maison L'Envoye Moulin-A-Vent Cru Gamay Noir 2020

One third of the fruit was de-stemmed and vinified in concrete. The remaining seventy percent fermented as whole clusters with half carbonic maceration contributing a spicy fragrant lift to the deep, muscular fruit. Twenty five percent of the wine was then matured over the following 11 months in new French oak, while the remainder stayed in stainless steel until the final blend.

Intense aromas of plush cherry and spice. Raspberry, sage and black pepper emerge in the complex, muscular body, concentrated and convivial. Notes from its pink-granite origins are evident on the palate of dark fruits.
