This wine isn't about simple Beaujolais suppleness, but a tighter regional origin with Gamay from selected crus and a style deliberately built on pure fruit and tension. The appellation is immediately relevant here. What is Bourgogne Gamay? It's a regional appellation that has existed since the 2011 vintage and only allows Gamay from a defined group of Beaujolais crus, not from ordinary Beaujolais or Beaujolais-Villages. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"14jexaw\" data-start=\"724\" data-end=\"747\"\u003eVineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"749\" data-end=\"925\"\u003eThe origin of this wine lies at the intersection of Burgundy and Beaujolais, precisely where Gamay can show its most precise character. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"927\" data-end=\"1898\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"anjk9o\" data-start=\"927\" data-end=\"1260\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"929\" data-end=\"952\"\u003eLocation \/ Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e For Bourgogne Gamay, the grapes must come exclusively from Beaujolais crus such as Brouilly, Chénas, Chiroubles, Côte-de-Brouilly, Fleurie, Juliénas, Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, Régnié, and Saint-Amour. This gives this wine a more serious foundation than a generic Beaujolais style. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"jx8n1w\" data-start=\"1261\" data-end=\"1474\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1263\" data-end=\"1273\"\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e The vineyards are located on granite, clay, and limestone. This combination works well with Gamay, providing freshness, juiciness, and enough structure to give the wine tension. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"vy3mxp\" data-start=\"1475\" data-end=\"1696\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1477\" data-end=\"1491\"\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e The average age of the vines is between 25 and 35 years, and the yield is 50 hl\/ha. This helps to give the fruit sufficient concentration and consistency. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1krpu06\" data-start=\"1697\" data-end=\"1898\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1699\" data-end=\"1721\"\u003eVineyard \u0026amp; Harvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e The grapes are harvested by hand.
