Amagalmay Red 2021

Domaine Athenais

Terroir, plot size and grape varieties

From the vibrant soils of Burgundy, Domaine Athénaïs' "Amagalmay" 2021 is a cuvée as original as it is expressive, born from the unique union of two grape varieties: Gamay, the emblematic red wine of indulgence, and Aligoté, usually white, here vinified to enrich the whole with a beautiful freshness. Classified as a Vin de France, this free and creative wine plays with conventions to offer a spontaneous and sincere interpretation of the Burgundian terroir. The result is a wine of pleasure, at once fruity, slightly tannic, and delightfully approachable.

Cultivation methods

Domaine Athénaïs is guided by a philosophy of craftsmanship and respect for all living things. Certified organic, the vineyard is cultivated with care, using a gentle and natural approach. The soils are plowed with care, treatments are limited to products of natural origin, and each vine is nurtured throughout its growth cycle without ever being forced. In the cellar, vinification in stainless steel tanks enhances the freshness and crispness of the fruit, without artifice, to deliver a pure, joyful, and authentic wine.

Tasting & pairings

"Amagalmay" 2021 charms from the first sip with its pure aromas of juicy cherry and vibrant raspberry, enhanced by a delicate touch of sweet spice. On the palate, the texture is supple, the tannins well-integrated, with a lovely vivacity that prolongs the pleasure. This is a wine for friends, for impromptu aperitifs, for casual dinners. It pairs wonderfully with everyday dishes: savory tarts, composed salads, homemade gratins, rustic pizza, or even a roast chicken with herbs. Slightly chilled, it becomes even more digestible and easy-drinking.

Delicious, natural, and convivial, "Amagalmay" is an invitation to joyful simplicity, the kind that comes from good times shared around an unpretentious yet charming bottle. A vintage that proudly upholds the values of a living, organic, and Burgundian wine.
