Gamay from Beaujolais, Burgundy, France

Winemaker Notes

Named after Daniel’s daughter, this wine comes from 70-year-old vines in a schist and granite derived soil with blue diorite on the southern slope of Mont Brouilly. Aged in old oak foudres, with a fine plum color, it has rich spicy fruit with a marked stony flavor on the finish.

Pairs well with chicken with apple salsa, Pasta with sausage, Omelets, and Camembert cheese.
