This unique terroir, combined with a temperate climate, offers ideal conditions for growing Gamay. The vines, some several decades old, are cultivated with care, promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly viticulture. Each vine is tended to produce high-quality grapes that reflect the typicity of the Beaujolais terroir.
