Marchampt, Beaujolais, France 31 Gamay verities ABV: 12%
Yes, a blend of 31 different varieties of Gamay. A truly unique, complex wine, light in body but with incredible depth and concentration. Fruit driven with notes of purple berries and tart raspberries, contrasted by a more savoury earthy character, delicate tannin and brilliant tension.

Having made wine under their negociant label P-U-R for many years, Karine and Cyril purchased this tiny ampelographic conservatory in 2016 and have been producing around 10 absolutely arresting cuvees from the site each year since.
And while the farm was already home to more than 100 grape varieties, the couple have continued to plant and today the number actually exceeds 140 old varieties, surrounded by 450 ha of forest. The farming is very sensitive, close to permaculture in fact, and the winemaking is extremely precise.
