Gamay de Bonheur is 100% Gamay sourced from two parcels in Vaux-en-Beaujolais, just outside the Brouilly cru, with vines ranging from 40 to 80 years old planted on pink granitic sand. The wine is classified as Vin de France. Cyrille Vuillod uses full carbonic maceration for 20 days, followed by 8 months aging in used barrique. It is bottled unfined, unfiltered, and without added sulfur.
The pink granitic sand soils here are low in nutrients and drain quickly, pushing vine roots deep and producing fruit with pronounced mineral character. Carbonic maceration at this length extracts vivid red fruit aromatics while keeping tannins soft, and the barrel aging adds structure without imposing wood flavor.
Cyrille farms just under 5 hectares organically and, as of the time this wine was produced, had moved into biodynamic practices as well. No certified organic or biodynamic label is used, but no synthetic treatments are applied at any point in the farming or cellar process. The result is a wine that reflects the specificity of its two parcels rather than a house style.
