Vinification

Reflet is a certified organic Gamay from La Varenne, in the Ancenis area east of Nantes, where the vines grow on loamy sand over orthogneiss, an ancient crystalline rock that gives the wine lift and clarity. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented naturally with wild yeasts. Around 10% of the bunches are included whole, with a 15-day maceration to draw out colour and soft structure. Malolactic fermentation is completed, and the wine ages for seven months in stainless steel. The result is a juicy, supple red with a garnet colour and just enough structure to be genuinely satisfying.

Importer's notes

A red wine built for pleasure. Gamay from crystalline rock in the Loire gives you something different from Beaujolais: less obviously fruity, a little more mineral, still very easy to enjoy. We love Reflet slightly chilled, around 14 to 16°C, and it works from the aperitif all the way through a meal. Try it with charcuterie, grilled beef, fish, or a simple cheese plate. Certified organic and ready to drink now.
