Pacaud Vignerons - Saint Amour - Point G 2022
Pacaud Vignerons is a wine estate located in Chassela s, between Mâconnais and Beaujolais. The Pacaud family has been running the vineyard for 3 generations, but the entire production was sold as grape juice until 2014, when Julien decided to vinify his first vintage. In 2021, he is joined by his brother Sébastien, a nature enthusiast who studied biology. Although they do not have the same professional profiles, their respective skills and experience make them perfectly complementary, with a similar culture and approach to vines and wine. The 13-hectare vineyard is divided into the communes of Chasselas, Leynes, Fuissé, Loché, Chaintré and also Saint-Amour in Beaujolais. The estate is certified in organic farming , and a biodynamic labeling process has been initiated.
.G is made from young Gamay vines (5 years old) grown on a plot of 18.50 ares in the commune of Saint-Amour, with very deep clay-loam and siliceous soils. After the manual harvest, the vinification is carried out in semi-carbonic fermentation for about 10 days, with a very short pumping over every two days. After pressing, the wine is aged in stainless steel vats . Only 730 bottles were produced for this 2022 vintage.
Grape variety: 100% Gamay
