Crafted by Géraldine and Christophe Pialoux, this old-vine Gamay from Roanne offers a dark, complex and earthy expression that highlights its coarse granitic soils. The loose, decomposed granite produces wines with pronounced freshness and aromatic lift, while excellent farming preserves pure, varietal character. Expect mature but tense, energetic fruit supported by lively acidity—an ideal profile for cooler-weather dining.
On the palate this Gamay delivers ripe red and dark fruit notes—wild cherry, raspberry and plum—layered with peppery spice, meaty undertones and mineral-driven freshness from the granite. The wine’s bright acidity and structured finish make it a superb match for roasted meats, charcuterie and hearty vegetable dishes.
A true terroir-driven bottle, it showcases the Pialouxs’ commitment to natural winemaking and sustainable viticulture.
