Description: You will discover where the name came from the moment you open the bottle. We are the only vineyard in the province growing the main variety in this cuvée, a European vinifera we call Blue Gamay, with which we have created a rich, red fruit-driven dry sparkling taste experience, unique in the world. Prepare for lift-off .....

Varietal Definition
Gamay:
The red grape of Beaujolais. Vinified by a process known as 'macération carbonique'* if produces light, fruit driven wines for early consumption. At home in the granite hills of Beaujolais it is a vigorous producer but susceptible to rot. Sometimes blended with Pinot Noir under the appellation 'Bourgogne Passe-Tout-Grains'. Also grown quite extensively in the Loire Valley notably in Touraine.
