Unbridled with concern over categorizing this wine as a Red or a Rose, we’ve pursued the heights of pure deliciousness in our Vin Gris since 2017. Uncrushed, left whole cluster for two weeks. The untouched grapes sit exposed to air, not carbonic, to allow for supple roundness and secondary flavor and texture to naturally evolve. For the second vintage in a row, we’ve settled on the blend of 70% Gamay and 30% Trousseau, but the 2024 shows more ripeness and depth due to the vintages low yield.

High-toned fruit punch perfection over firmer cranberry and boysenberry crunchiness. With a quenching zip of acid and tannin, the wine blazes a streak straight through the mouth to a lightweight carbon fiber framework finish. Warming up with air, more piercing, deeper red fruits emerge and the wine becomes weightier: a heavy ground fog wrapping around the hills beneath an ultra-bright sunrise overhead. The perfect hybrid between rosé and red.
