Current condition

Fresh and vibrant with youthful fruit character

The 2022 vintage in Coteaux du Lyonnais produced a light, fresh Gamay with good structure. Given the wine's bright acidity and modest tannins typical of the region, its peak drinking window is within 3-5 years post vintage allowing primary fruit flavors to evolve gently without losing vibrancy.

Pairs well with charcuterie, roasted chicken, light pasta dishes, herb-crusted fish, and mild cheeses.
