Appellation

It must contain at least one third Pinot Noir and Pinot Liébault, with the rest Gamay.

The Pinot and Gamay are fermented together. This process starts with a carbonic maceration and continues with a traditional fermentation. The wine is usually released young, and shows no aging potential. It is recommended that it is drunk within 2-3 years, and the ideal serving temperature is 16 Celsius. A little rosé wine is produced under the appellation.
