Henri Bourgeois Cheateaumeillant Gamay, 2023, 750ml

Description

Located in the Southern region of Bourges, the Châteaumeillant vineyard covers 91 hectares. Gamay vines are planted on a siliceous, granite and schist terroir that produces delicate, wellstructured red wines. The region has a long history of winegrowing, being situated at an important trading crossroads for the Romans (5th century BC). Harvested by hand. The grapes are destemmed before alcoholic fermentation in vats, which takes place at the same time as maceration (11 days). After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in vats for 10 months.

Beautiful roundness, a mouth full of charm, slight tannic astringency. This delicate red wine offers a fresh nose of red fruits, eucalyptus and white pepper. Straightforward and textured on the palate, this harmonious wine seduces with its cherry tones and great finesse.
