Gamay
Marguerite 2020
Louis Terral

Grape Variety: Gamay

Producer: Louis Terral

Region: Merignat, Bugey, France

Wild Scale: 4/5

Vegan friendly wine

Winemaking: Organic Gamay grapes were harvested by hand. 70% de-stemmed and 30% whole bunch maceration for 4.5 months. All fermentation with indigenous yeast. No fining, filtration or added sulphur.

This Wine: Natural, still red wine with medium body. A deep and complex Gamay with aromas of plum, blackcurrant and peppery spice. Can stand up to heartier food dishes but is also great by itself. 

Notes on the Winemaker: Louis Terral settled in his wife's home region of Bugey after training with some of the biggest names in the Beaujolais natural wine scene. He now uses biodynamic farming practices on his Gamay and Chardonnay vines to produce sophisticated and elegant wines without any sulphur additions.
