100% Gamay

Biodynamic, organic, sustainable, fermentation with native yeasts.

It’s a pretty light pink color with an active foamy mousse that spirits aromas of strawberry, raspberry, and fresh laundry-on-the-line. The flavors are fruit-driven, with friendly pink berries fringed by a sense of grassy herbs and salt. It’s a terrific wine to serve as a plein-air apéritif, the low alcohol and fruit on-point for a summer day.

Raphaël Saint-Cyr is the fourth generation vigneron at the Domaine Saint-Cyr, which was created by his great-grandfather, Pierre Saint-Cyr. The estate is located in Anse, found at the southern edge of the Beaujolais. When Raphael took over the winemaking in 2008, he let go of a large portion of Beaujolais vines around the winery and acquired vines further north in the crus of Morgon, Regnié, Chénas, and Moulin-à-Vent. Having seen his grandfather and uncle get sick from the chemicals used to treat their vines, Raphael was immediately convinced to convert the entire 23 hectare domaine to certified organic v iticulture, making Domaine Saint Cyr one of the largest organic domaines in the Beaujolais.
