Advantages of Gamay :
From a viticultural point of view, Gamay is a pleasant grape variety to work with. It is fairly drought-resistant, has an upright habit, good bud fertility and is frost-resistant. It adapts well to climate change, making it a wise choice in today’s uncertain weather.
A Variety of Wines
Gamay is a grape variety that can be vinified in many different ways, resulting in wines with varied organoleptic characteristics. It’s this adaptability and variety that makes this grape variety so fascinating to work with, and contributes to the richness and diversity of the wines we produce at Domaine des Braves.
Balancing Tradition and Innovation
When it comes to viticulture and vinification, we adopt time-tested traditional methods while incorporating modern innovations where we feel they can improve the quality of our wines. This balance enables us to honor the heritage of our estate while remaining at the cutting edge of oenological innovation.
