Château de Châtagneréaz Gamay d'Arcenant
Red wine | Mont-sur-Rolle Grand Cru, La Côte AOC
Similar but different,
Gamay d'Arcenant, named after a town in Burgundy, is a very old strain of this grape variety, and offers a spicy profile, different from a classic Gamay. It is associated with a touch of Gamaret and Garanoir – his children – in this rare red wine from Château de Châtagneréaz. It displays a beautiful roundness on the palate, with very present tannins, and a finish with accents of wild blackberries. A distinguished wine, worth discovering!

Château de Châtagneréaz
The rich history of this exemplary estate began long ago, before the year 1000, in the chestnut tree forests of La Côte. The Chasselas grape, planted as the vast majority grape variety on this terroir, birthed a 1er Grand Cru, the highest classification of Vaud wines. Today, head winemaker Tony Heubi passionately continues the tradition of excellence at Château de Châtagneréaz.
