The 2022 La Lunotte "Ormeaux" Gamay, crafted by the renowned Christophe Foucher, exemplifies the artistry behind La Lunotte's acclaimed wines. Sourced from clay, flint, and silex soils near Foucher’s cellar in Couffy, this 100% Gamay showcases the essence of its terroir. The grapes undergo whole-bunch maceration for two weeks, followed by pressing and aging in tanks, resulting in a wine with ripe, expressive fruit and a remarkably elegant tannic structure. The "Ormeaux" Gamay presents an intriguing profile akin to a peppery Cab Franc, offering a light yet complex experience with prickly blue and purple fruit notes.
