Domaine Romy Beaujolais Les Pierres Dorées is a beautiful expression of Gamay from the famous French appellation of Beaujolais. Domaine Romy is a property of 20 hectares in the “Pierres Dorées” area in the south of Beaujolais. Dominique and his son Nicolas Romy are 10th generation winemakers tied to the land. They cultivate their vines in a natural manner, strictly adhering to Terra Vitis requirements – their main objective is to maintain the biological balance of the vines and soil with as little human intervention as possible. Old-fashioned agriculture is king at Domaine Romy, with grass growing between the vines and special attention dedicated to green harvesting in order to lower the yields and maintain the high quality of the grapes.
“This is a full-throttle cherry bomb that cries out “drink me!” and may be too much for those seeking something with more classic character. However, we really like the balance of black fruit, medium body and lively acidity that’s anchored by a healthy touch of tannin. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.”—James Suckling, 90 points!
