Louis-Antoine Luyt Gamay Blanc 2021 (75cl)

Louis-Antoine Luyt makes wine in Chile from old, high, cool, dry-farmed vineyards in Maule and Bio Bio. He settled there in 2006 after learning winemaking with Philippe Pacalet and Marcel Lapierre. He pioneered carbonic maceration of the País grape and later adopted Pipeño vinification, in which grapes are destemmed, fermented spontaneously in open lagares, trodden by foot and aged briefly in wooden pipas. Pipeño vinification is aimed at young, lively drinking, originally for celebrations within the farming community.
