Domaine de L Epinay, Gamay 2022 Hot on Sale

A lovely, fun organic Gamay from the Loire just landed in time for summer sipping! Grapes were de-stemmed, followed by maceration in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats at around 25°C for 7 days. After alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, the wine was regularly racked over the winter to naturally clarify, before spending six months in stainless steel prior to bottling with less than 50mg l sulphur added. Fresh and juicy, with light, bright fruit and supple, silky tannins.

Domaine l Epinay has been in the Paquereau family for four generations. Viticulture became the sole activity of the Domaine when Albert and his wife Odile took the reigns in 1973 and since the early 2000s their children Cyrille and Sylvain, have run the estate. In 2011 they began conversion to organics and won an award for their organic Muscadet, which spurred them on to convert the entire estate to organic agriculture.
