'À Fleur de Peau' Yuka & Clotaire Michal 2022

Yuka & Clotaire Michal's Gamay 'à Fleur de Peau' is a Beaujolais red of great finesse. The plot from which the grapes are harvested is a gem of the region: century-old vines grow on soils rich in quartz and pink granite that seem to sparkle! The winery works with minimal intervention, both in the vineyard and in the cellar, with spontaneous fermentation and ageing in very old barrels. The nose reveals delicate aromas of wilted roses, red fruit, tobacco and fragrant herbs. On the palate, it is balanced but dense, with long, harmonious tannins accompanying a sip of great elegance. It pairs perfectly with cold cuts and meat dishes, particularly coq au vin cooked strictly with Beaujolais wine

When to open
To enjoy an artisanal wine at its best, we recommend you to let it 'breathe' at least 15-30 minutes before serving
When to drink
Wine good to drink now, but that can have a beautiful evolution after resting for a while in your cellar
Glass
Medium open goblet
Perfect for young and medium bodied red wines which don't require excessive oxygenation to open. The opening, slightly tighter than the body of the glass, favors the concentration of aromas towards the nose, enhancing the perception of aromas and limiting the dispersion
