Herve Souhaut, La Souteronne 2024

Grape: Gamay

Region: Ardeche, France 

Organic Gamay grapes from 50 to 80 year old vines were harvested by hand. Whole bunch, semi-carbonic maceration and fermentation with indigenous yeast. Bottled with no fining or filtration and just a small amount of sulphur.

A high quality Gamay made with grapes from 4 different plots in the Ardeche. The wine displays both the fruity nature of Gamay but with some smokey and dark characteristics that we associate with Syrah from this part of France. With cherry, brambles, liquorice and a smoky/earthy note.
