Producer: Camille Melinand 
Region: Chiroubles, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
Varietal: Gamay
Year: 2019 

Winemaker Notes: 

"In Chiroubles Camille farms one of the highest elevation crus in Beaujolais at 400m, a 1ha lieu-dit called Tempéré, which is located on a very steep south-facing slope of 35% grade. To work the soil, he has to utilize cables and winches for plowing. It is painful, manual work, but Camille feels the results in the vineyard are worth the massive effort. The vineyard is planted to 50-year-old, gobelet trained Gamay vines on pink granite." 

Alcohol: 13.5%
