Les Chambés
Pierre Bourlier (Ardèche)
Pinot Noir / Gamay • 2020
Gamay and Pinot Noir planted on terraces of sandy granitic soil. Grapes were left in whole bunches to macerate for 1 week before being de-stemmed by hand and then fermented gently on the skins for another 2 weeks. It was then aged in amphora for 15 months before bottling with no additions. Less immediate than Pierre’s Vaille Que Vaille, but a wine that has huge ageing potential. This is earthy, complex and will show many layers to those patient enough to let in unfold over a long meal.
