What importer Bowler Wine has to say about this wine...
100% Gamay. This bottling from the celebrated climat of Corcelette is the first Desvignes wine from sourced, organically farmed fruit. Desvignes harvests the fruit by hand from a 0.8-hectare plot of 50-year-old vines on poor, sandy pink granite soils on a south-facing slope (see the dark green swatch on the gorgeous label) in the western part of Corcelette near the border of the climat of St. Joseph. The bunches are 80% destemmed and placed into closed concrete vats for a partly carbonic fermentation; maceration is 13-14 days with a submerged cap and no punchdowns. A very small amount of sulfur (1-2 grams/hectoliter) is added after malo and sometimes at bottling. The wine is aged in cement tank for 7 months and bottled with a light, non-sterile filtration.
