3 Fonteinen Druif GamayxAlex Foillard no 58-23/24

bottle date: 23/07/2024 bottle count: 645 For this Druif, we macerated Gamay grapes from Alex Foillard. The maceration of the full grape trunks took place on a wooden barrel for five-and-a-half months, after which we let the uncut grape lambic mature longer on amphoras, for another four-and-a-half months. The final fruit intensity is 410 grams of Gamay grapes per litre of Druif. The weighted average age of this blend upon bottling was more than 21 months. A few years ago, we started working with the most progressive low-intervention winemakers around Europe. Alex Foillard works two hectares around Brouilly in the Beaujolais region of France. His father Jean is part of the ‘Gang of Four’, an illustruous group of winemakers rejecting industrial methods in favour of flavour & character. Show Less
