Domaine Saint Cyr Beaujolais "La Galoche" 2022
100% Gamay and the soil is clay with limestone underneath. The wine was aged in concrete tank for 6 months. Vigneron Raphael Saint-Cyr managed to bottle the party spirit of the Beaujolais region, and he called it La Galoche. It's a light and fruity Gamay that's a perfect go-to bottle.
La Galoche is the main cuvée from the Domaine Saint Cyr, produced from the organically farmed vineyards in the Pierres Dorées (Golden Stone) region surrounding the domaine. Galoche is the name of a small stream near the winery, and is also French teenage slang for making out.

About the Producer
Raphael Saint-Cyr is the fourth generation vigneron at the Domaine Saint-Cyr, which was created by his great-grandfather, Pierre Saint-Cyr. The estate is located in Anse, found at the southern edge of the Beaujolais. When Raphael took over the winemaking in 2008, he let go of a large portion of Beaujolais vines around the winery and acquired vines further north in the crus of Morgon, Regnié, Chénas, and Moulin-à-Vent. Having seen his grandfather and uncle get sick from the chemicals used to treat their vines, Raphael was immediately convinced to convert the entire 23 hectare domaine to certified organic viticulture, making Domaine Saint Cyr one of the largest organic domaines in the Beaujolais.
