Vin de France Gisous Vieilles Vignes Séléné 2022

The wine

Cuvée Gisous is a flavoursome Beaujolais crafted from the estate’s old Gamay vines. The winemaker, Sylvère, honours his grandmother with a blend of happiness, fluidity and deliciousness in the same wine. The Gamay grapes are meticulously harvested, sorted and carefully vinified, with whole bunches undergoing carbonic maceration. The winemaker only applies a small homeopathic dose of sulphur to preserve the density, authenticity and complexity of the fruity aromas.
The deep, bright red colour reveals an expressive nose, with scents of cherry, blackcurrant, raspberry and blackberry mingling beautifully with delicate floral notes. The supple and elegant palate reveals a superb balance of fine tannins and persistent fruity aromas, leading to a deliciously long, fresh and flavoursome finish. This 100% Gamay offers several fine years of cellaring.

About the Producer Séléné

Domaine Séléné, whose name is a reference to the Greek goddess of the moon, was taken over in 2012 by Sylvère Trichard and her partner. The name is clear with its intentions: the important thing is to highlight nature and all its elements, whether terrestrial or extraterrestrial, to offer the purest wines, with the least human intervention.
Sylvère Trichard cultivates 4 hectares of certified organic and biodynamic vineyards in the heart of Blacé. The estate is called Séléné, and the work is carried out following the lunar cycle. In the vineyard, attention and care are important. The vines evolve in an ecosystem that includes insects, fruit trees, and sheep… In the cellar, the aim is to have as little intervention as possible so that the wine follows its natural cycle. No inputs are added, with the exception of a small amount of sulphur during bottling.
The wines are light, fresh, fruity, respecting the terroir, the winegrower and the consumer.
