Velvety smooth and light on its feet, the tannins fine and gently drawn, and the whole thing built around purity rather than power. Gamay 100%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDomaine de Colonat has passed from father to son since 1828, and Thomas Collonge, the seventh generation, has been running the 12-hectare estate with his wife Julie since taking over gradually from 2008. He began converting to organic cultivation in 2017; a third of the estate is now certified organic and the whole property is certified HVE, with no herbicides or pesticides and only small, light vehicles allowed on the steep ground. The Gamay Noir vines for this cuvée sit at 425 metres at the foot of the La Madone hill, on a south-east facing slope sheltered from northerly winds by the Avenas, Durbize and Labourons mountains, on granite rock and sand where the topsoil is sometimes only a few centimetres deep. Grapes were hand-harvested, sorted by hand and 90% destemmed, fermented in concrete with local yeast selected from the estate's own Gamay, macerated gently for around ten days with few pump-overs, then held six months in concrete on the fine lees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe cool, at 13-15°C.
