Sparkling Gamay (Red) French Kiss Irresistible • Tender • Unforgetable
In the rolling granite hills of the Beaujolais, just south of Burgundy, Jean-Charles experienced his first taste of sparkling Gamay – a rustic and ancestral style of sparkling wine that few can taste outside of the region. The pleasing tingle of carbonation and juicy sweetness of this wine bring a wave of pure pleasure that conjures memories of the electric excitement of one’s first kiss.
Crafted using the ancestral method in tank, this sparkling wine captures pure fruit expression. Fermentation is stopped midway to preserve natural grape sugars, which drive a secondary fermentation—no added sugar needed. Aged for three months, it offers a fresh, softly textured profile with delicate effervescence.

Tasting Notes
Unlike any traditional sparkling wine, French Kiss dazzles with its violet-red hue, natural grape sweetness, and lively, persistent bubbles. Aromas of strawberry, blackberry, and wild raspberry lead to a rich yet balanced palate, lifted by a subtle, refreshing sharpness on the finish. Festive and approachable, it offers a vibrant, lower-alcohol expression of sparkling wine.

The Story
Wines have sparkled for as long as grapes have been fermented into vinous elixir, because bubbles are a natural product of the fermentation process that turns fruit into wine. Until now, only winemakers could taste red wines mid-transformation, when they are showing both the promise of fine dry wines and the allure of succulent, fresh-picked grapes. This seductive wine preserves and bottles this precious moment of duality and transition to share with the world a sparkling wine of vivid hue and seductive sensuality as memorable as a French Kiss.
