Domaine Rostaing Tayard ‘Couer Des Hommes’ 2023

Country: France

Region: Coteaux du Lyonnais

Grape: Gamay

Style: Vibrant, youthful

ABV: 13%

Wine Notes: The Couer des Hommes is a more sublime expression of Gamay with rich, structure reminiscent of a more powerful beajoulais cru. Aged in steel and small barrels.

Farming Notes: The vineyard farmed under biodynamic practices. All the Rostaing-Tayard wines are Vinified by individual vineyards so each wine is a true expression of its place. 

Gamay, from a criminally unknown region - the Coteaux Du Lyonnais - a wine growing are which hugs the gastronomic capital of France, Lyon and sits between Beajoulais and the Northern Rhone. A melting pot of the greener, more lush Beajoulais and the windswept, sunbaked slopes of the northern Rhone. 

Producer Notes: Emmanuel Rostaing-Tayard grew up in this picturesque part of the Coteaux Du Lyonnais - Savigny. Moving back after experience in both Burgundy and New Zealand Emmanuel narrowly saved the last remaining parcels of Gamay. He now nurtures these vines and excels in creating complex, terroir driven wines showing the true character of the region.
