2022 Domaine Les Aricoques 'Pan! Le Rouge'

Le Rouze is entirely Gamay, with a focus on the freshness of the grape.Coming from the same poor soils, already Gamay here takes on a beautifully, compact, complex flavor of red fruit and spice, but the grapes see very little extraction before their fermenting in egg-shaped vats.

The estate was started by two High School friends, Guillaume Bellona and Romain Dupont. The two have traveled around the world researching and enjoying other cultures' gastronomy then making their way back to France working harvests with Stephane Ogier and Domaine Giachino! After friendly pressure from their fellow winemaking friends, the two started Domaine Les Aricoques in 2021.
