Clusel Roch - Coteaux du Lyonnais Galet 2019

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

100% Gamay from organically farmed, southeast facing vineyards. The grapes are partially destemmed, and a long, slow fermentation is done using indigenous yeasts. The wine then spends 12 months in third use large oak casks. 10,000 bottles made. The color is typical Gamay garnet-red, and the complex nose gives aromas of cherries, blackberries, gooseberries, raspberries and peonies. Some of those same flavors continue on the palate, with a good backbone holding it all together. Perfect with the Lyonnais cuisine: charcuterie, barbecue, or just goats cheese. ​

Assertive dark berry, cherry and floral pastille scents are complemented by suggestions of succulent herbs and smoky minerals. Sappy and nicely concentrated, offering mineral-laced bitter cherry and black raspberry preserve flavors that turn sweeter with aeration. Discreet tannins add framework to the finish, which lingers with solid, spicy tenacity. There's something Morgon-like happening here. Josh Raynolds - Vinous Media
