Domaine Jonathan Pey Fleurie "Fonfotin" Cru

A velvety, high-toned old-vine Gamay from very rare and historic "Selection Massale" vines which most purely reflect this unique terroir and altitude.

Origine

• Ultra-high-elevation estate vineyard in Fleurie, 1,550' altitude (470m)
• Planted in 1954, these 70+ year-old head-pruned vines struggle in the barren, low-fertility eroded pink granite soil in the lieu-dit of "Fontotin"
• High-density planting (10,400 vines/hectare) on an insanely steep 45% southeast slope
• Very rare and historic "Selection Massale" vines which most purely reflect this unique terroir and altitude

Tasting Notes

Because this is a minimal intervention, naturally-made red wine, it may throw a harmless natural deposit. Deep ruby-red, intensely aromatic, this velvety, high-toned old-vine Gamay has a nervy backbone and cellaring potential of up to 10 years. Serve lightly chilled 54°F/14°C. Cheeses, roasted meats, anything umami.
