Julien Cecillon La Savane Gamay 2020
La Savane comes from a 2-hectare parcel in Ardoix, a rugged landscape deep into the hills of the Ardèche, that Cecillon acquired in 2016. Vinified in the same style as their VdF Syrah, Julien Cecillon La Savane Gamay is a rich and textured Rhône-style Gamay. The first time that the Cecillons arrived on this parcel, they could barely see the vines, hence the name (which means savannah).
