Organic craftsmanship from the Côte Chalonnaise – Authentic Gamay with depth

Intro – an expressive Gamay with pure terroir
Crafted with passion by Naïma & David Didon in the northern part of the Côte Chalonnaise, this Coteaux Bourguignons Gamay 2022 offers a vibrant and pure expression of Burgundy terroir. The clay-limestone soils and meticulous organic farming create a wine that is authentic, refined, and uncomplicated. A slow vinification, with light extraction and spontaneous fermentation, brings out the characteristic depth of the Gamay grape.
