Tailleurs Cueilleurs Grenala Gamay

This week, we're excited to share an extremely limited amount of one of our favorite expressions of the grape (and interestingly enough, it isn't from Beaujolais!)

Tailleurs Cailleurs, which translates to 'pruners-pickers,' is rooted on the northern side of Bugey, a small Alpine appellation located between Lyon and Geneva. Spearheaded by Chloé Bey and Jordan d'Osualdo, this miniscule project focuses on organic / biodynamic farming and no-sulfur vinification.

Their Grenala Gamay comes from a plot of 50-year-old vines rooted in clay-limestone soils. In the cellar, fruit is fermented whole bunch with partial carbonic maceration and aged in large demi-muids prior to bottling. The resulting wine embodies everything we love about chillable reds—expect high-toned flavors of chilled raspberries, cranberry, damp earth, and refreshing notes of dried herbs to lead to a cooling, lip-puckering finish.

The wine's only downfall? Its extremely small production—we've got just six bottles of it in stock.

Stop by and say hello all weekend long. We'd love to see you in person.

Cheers!
