Beaujolais Terroir de Bellevue

Pasta, Veal, Pork, Poultry

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.

A single-variety Gamay red wine produced in the A.O.C. Beaujolais on clay-limestone soils. The grapes come from 70 year old vines planted on a single, South East facing plot on clay and limestone marls. 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 eight months in concrete tanks.

The grapes are selected manually and undergo carbonic maceration for about 15 days. Alcoholic fermentation then takes place with native yeasts.
