Domaine des Fables "Les Chroniques de Gargantua" Savoie, France 2022

FROM STEVEN GRAF WINE:

THE WINE: 100% Gamay from 35 year old vines. 25 day maceration in whole bunches. Aged 10 months in Bordeaux barrels on lees.

THE PRODUCER: The Domaine des Fables, created in 2019, is located on the slopes of Chautagne (Savoie), near the Rhone and the Lac du Bourget. The soils are composed of sandstone and limestone scree, the vineyard benefits from a south-western exposure and a climate tempered by the Lake of Bourget and the Rhone. In this setting, the vineyard plots are surrounded by woods, streams and meadows. The estate has been converted to organic farming and biodynamic practices. The search for balance and richness in biodiversity guides François Gilles’ work which extends to the cellar. All the fermentations are spontaneous and the maturation guided by the stars.
