Tino Kuban, a passionate and enthusiastic winemaker, took over the reins of Domaine Bernard van Berg located in Meursault, giving it the charming name we know today, Les Jardins Vivants (The Living Gardens). He cultivates one and a half hectares of vines at the heart of this exceptional terroir, where low yields and early-morning harvests guarantee premium quality fruit. Alongside his rigorous work as a winemaker, Tino has developed his own wine merchant business, Maison Glandien. He sources grapes from partner winemakers and friends located in various winegrowing regions, including Burgundy and Beaujolais, as well as Alsace and the Jura. He seeks out grapes from sustainable, integrated viticulture that comply with his high quality standards. During the vinification process, spontaneous fermentation, minimal use of sulphites and ageing in used barrels all guarantee authentic, flavoursome wines.

The Gamay vines grown in the Beaujolais vineyard were rigorously selected for their quality and extraordinary wealth of aromas. Each parcel of vines benefits from meticulous viticulture practices that respect the principles of organic farming combined with a natural approach. All chemical fertilisers and weedkillers are banned in favour of a gentler, more environmentally friendly approach. In the winery, the harvested Gamay grapes undergo a natural, low-intervention vinification process, which allows the fruit to release all its delicious aromas naturally.
The dark ruby-red colour reveals an expressive nose dominated by intense aromas of red fruit accentuated by subtle hints of vanilla. This 100% Gamay displays delicious notes of red fruit on the palate, perfectly balanced by fine acidity, gently leading to a juicy, floral and flavoursome finish.
