La Galoche Beaujolais Rouge

Pasta, Veal, Pork, Poultry

The grapes come from 50 year old vines planted on slopes with clay-calcareous soils in the city of Anse. The plots face southeast, which is perfect for the Domain’s organic cultivation because it helps make the vines less prone to diseases and helps the grapes reach perfect ripeness.

The resulting wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is then aged for around six months in concrete tanks.

To make the Domaine Saint-Cyr La Galoche wine, the grapes are selected manually and undergo carbonic maceration for about 15 days. Alcoholic fermentation then takes place with native yeasts.

Domaine Saint-Cyr is a family winery where the vines are organically cultivated, with complete respect for the environment and without using any fertilisers, herbicides, insecticides or compounds made from chemicals. The winery has some of the largest organic plots in Beaujolais, with the team working according to the principles of biodynamic agriculture and with minimal intervention. This results in an honest expression of the Gamay variety with a clear personality from the area it grows in.
