‘La Galoche’ Rouge 2023 | Domaine de Saint Cyr

Raphaël Saint-Cyr is the fourth generation vigneron at the Domaine Saint-Cyr, which was created by his great-grandfather, Pierre Saint-Cyr. The estate is located in Anse, found at the southern edge of the Beaujolais. When Raphael took over the winemaking in 2008, he let go of a large portion of Beaujolais vines around the winery and acquired vines further north in the crus of Morgon, Regnié, Chénas, and Moulin-à-Vent. Having seen his grandfather and uncle get sick from the chemicals used to treat their vines, Raphael was immediately convinced to convert the entire 23 hectare domaine to certified organic viticulture, making Domaine Saint Cyr one of the largest organic domaines in the Beaujolais.

A super fresh, light and fruity Gamay from 40 year old vines, carbonic maceration for a week and 6 months in concrete tank. Unfined and unfiltered. The result is a bright, juicy wine with aromas of red berries such as strawberry and raspberry, accompanied by a touch of earthiness.
