About: Schist soil Gamay from low-key superstar winemaker Hervé Souhaut at his domaine Romaneaux-Destezet. Whole bunches and a semi-carbonic maceration lift this cheeky grape to a serious wine, balancing the fruit focus and energy of a top class Beaujolais, with the savoury, peppery and mineral complexity of a northern Rhone banger. The nose is gamey and intense, while the palate is lean and refreshing, this wine deserves a seat at the table no matter the occasion.
