Producer: Henri Chauvet

Region: Boudes, Auvergne, France

Winemaking: Organic Gamay grapes were harvested by hand. Whole bunch maceration for 7 days and fermentation with indigenous yeast. Aged for 9 months in a combination of steel tanks and old barrels. Bottled with no filtration, fining or added sulphur.

This Wine: Natural red wine with a light to medium body that comes from a vineyard of different Gamay varieties that are co-planted. Amazing concentration of black fruit, spice and minerals. Brimming with dark volcanic notes and reminiscent of something medieval. A spellbinding bottle. 

Notes on the Winemaker: Henri Chauvet trained in the Rhône Valley before arriving in the Auvergne in 2021. He loves the array of different soil types and aspects in this region so intends to show the different possibilities with each and every cuvée that he produces.
