The wine is red with purple reflections, and exuberantly fragrant right out of the bottle, even with a slight ‘bistro-inspired’ chill. No need to overthink this one—tannins are perfectly supple after two years of aging, dry and silky enough to pair perfectly with medium-rare steak frites but fine enough to enjoy without anything more than good company. Canaille bursts with muddled raspberries and cool earth notes on the nose, but drinks more savory, firm and restrained than you might expect on the palate. The old vines give depth to a bushel of black cherries and fresh nutmeg notes, each mouthful highlighted by firm acidity and a lingering note of wet-clay minerality. It’s a bottle full of easy pleasures, terrifyingly easy to drink and wonderfully hard to forget.
Concentrated but balanced by elegant acidities and smooth tannins. The Gamay shows beautiful concentration of pigment, with a density and depth in the glass dominated by black fruits.100% Gamay from 40 year old vines, yielding 35 hl/ha (60 hl/ha permitted). Certified Organic.
