Clos de Mez, 'Château Gaillard'

Marie-Élodie Zighera-Confuron, Winemaker

Chateau Gaillard is a lieu-dit that passed to Marie-Élodie Zighera-Confuron  from her grandmother. Adjacent to the border of Morgon where it borders Fleurie, the plot of 60+ year old vines with very low yields giving a wine of great depth and ageing potential. Grapes are sorted as they are picked in each plot of the vineyard; the grapes are moved to the vats by a system of gravity where whole-bunch pre-fermentation maceration at cold temperature is carried out for few days, followed by alcoholic fermentation interspersed by cap-punching and pumping-over.
