Gamay from Beaujolais in the hands of a fifth-generation naturalist who proves restraint and purity are the same thing. Bright red fruit, silky tannin, the kind of wine that tastes effortless because the work was done in the vineyard and cellar, not in the glass. Domaine du Vissoux doesn't need to shout to be heard.
About the Producer
I search out wines as naturally made as possible, but only if this contributes to the wine being better. Domaine du Vissoux may just be the most perfect expression in my whole portfolio of what I seek, for this very ability to be natural and great, at once. A masterful 5th generation grower, Pierre has maintained the strict traditions of his ancestors and of the region, with more tenacity than most. Despite fashions changing, Pierre has, for his entire life, adhered only to the classic methods handed down from his family.
