Les Gaules des Bois - "Ambitio", Bergerac & Beaujolais

This is a coming together of fruit from two biodynamic vineyards; carbonic macerated Gamay from Beaujolais, driven all the way down to Bergerac to be married with destemmed Merlot from Chateau Barouillet's own vines. Fermented separately, this unlikely combination is seriously fun. You have the fresh blueberries and lean, clean palate of the Gamay, augmented by richer dark plum and coffee notes from the Merlot. Ambitious but brilliant!
