Notes from the Importer: The Bodillard vineyards are planted on the undulating hills around Morgon, in granitic and schist soils that are ideal for Gamay. The vines are from 20-100 years old, bringing a wide variety of distinct, unique aromas to each wine.
The vineyards have been cared for by the Bodillard family for 5 generations. Today, Renaud Bodillard cares for the family vineyards with organic and biodynamic farming. Harvest is done exclusively by hand.
Once in the winery, the grapes are carefully into concrete vats or oak barrels for whole grape carbonic maceration. Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts and the wines are aged in carefully selected French oak vats and barrels.
The Bodillard family proudly takes part in every step of the process from vine to bottle, to guarantee the quality of their wines.
