Experience the essence of Gamay, nurtured on the mineral-rich soils of gneiss terroir. With meticulous care and attention, our grapes undergo a 15-day maceration process, followed by a patient aging period of 21 months in tank, allowing the wine to develop its full potential.

The result is a testament to craftsmanship, boasting ripe, luscious fruits that tantalize the palate with notes of blackberries and brambles, interwoven with hints of exotic spices. Each sip reveals the depth and complexity of this exceptional wine, a true reflection of its unique terroir and the artistry of winemaking.

This wine is made in very small quantities, using the best grapes, from the oldest vines (between 75 and 100 years old). 85.45 is a very special wine, one to be enjoyed and savoured. It is made using 100% Gamay grapes and given 21 months in oak barrels. The colour is deepest garnet with hints of ruby. The nose is bursting with black fruits with touches of coffee and liquorice. The palate is fleshy and compex with well integrated tannins. The finish is long and satisfying.

JB does all the vineyard work; he finds this to be the best way of ensuring the quality and sustainability of the grapes. Using an agroforestry system, he replicates what can be observed in the wild forest. This helps the vines to grow strong without spraying chemicals on the ground and without ploughing the earth (which would damage the soil structure).

Cover crops help the fauna to naturally fight against pests. The cover crop also competes with the vines which keeps the yields low.

This is a wine to drink young, which will be drinking well until 2026.
