Winemaking: Organic Gamay grapes from two different plots were harvested by hand. Macerated for 20 days and fermented with indigenous yeast in stainless steel. Aged in a combination of stoneware vessels and old barrels. No filtration, fining or added sulphur.

This Wine: Natural red wine with a light to medium body. This is serious and complex with savoury and mineral flavours leading the way. Supported with dark fruit flavours and a touch of spice. Best served with food. 

Notes on the Winemaker: Les Bariolés is an exciting young estate in Auvergne, founded in 2022 by Claire Freist and Edoardo Veltroni. Having honed their craft in prestigious Burgundian cellars, the couple settled on 5 hectares of high-altitude volcanic slopes in Chalus (600m above sea level). Working organically and biodynamically with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Gamay, they craft pure, additive-free wines with no sulphur additions. The result? Strikingly energetic, precise natural wines bursting with volcanic minerality, fresh fruit, and immense precision.
