Michel Guignier 'Les Amethystes' Morgon 2021

"Deep violet color. Displays candied red berry, smoky mineral, potpourri and star anise qualities on the incisive nose. Juicy and penetrating in the mouth, offering mineral-accented raspberry, bitter cherry and floral pastille flavors and a hint of botanical herbs. Finishes spicy and very long, with lingering florality and harmonious tannins." -- Josh Raynolds

Varietal: 100% Gamay

Minimal SO2 prior to bottling
Certified organic

Crafted using grapes from my oldest vines (over 70 years old), this wine is particularly well-structured and velvety with beautiful aromatic complexity.
