Dark ruby color with purple hue. Nose of ripe red and black berries with spices note, earth and violet flowers. Quite concentrated on the palate, it still finds balance due to its acidity level and a sour-bitter finish that brings in some crispyness to the wine. Feels structured (for a Gamay of course, not generally speaking!), it’ll hold on for a few years, or few minutes in your glass as it’s the two options offered with this wine! Good+ (88)

Made of  Gamay from vines planted between 1967 and 1978. Aged in tanks. Alcohol level of  12%

Available in SAQ stores for 16,75$ (Code SAQ : 00329532)
