VDF "La Guerrerie" (Côt/Gamay)

2022
France
Loire

90% Côt/10% Gamay. La Guerrerie is an estate parcel named in reference to its history as a battlefield in the Hundred Years' War. It is a flat, clay-rich site co-planted with Côt, aka Malbec, and Gamay in the 1980's. The Puzelats farm it organically and harvest it by hand. Typical of Tue-Boeuf reds, the whole clusters go through a semi-carbonic maceration and spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts and without sulfur in vat. La Guerrerie is aged for 8-9 months in used demi-muids and Burgundy barrels. The wine is bottled without filtration and with little to no sulfur. It is classified a Vin de France.
