A Chardonnay with a fresh profile, driven by notes of white fruit, citrus and a hint of biscuit. Fluid on the palate, with great purity and a mineral structure, the richness of the grape variety is perfectly balanced by a lovely tension - it's impossible to get bored of it!
Emmanuel Rostaing-Tayard
Emmanuel Rostaing-Tayard, child of the ’87 vintage and son of farmers, has settled in his native village of Savigny in the Coteaux du Lyonnais, this is the beautiful story of the local boy returning to the land. After a career in Paris, far from the vineyards, the death of his grandparents in 2017 encouraged him to get closer to his family roots, and he embarked on a new journey through the Beaune viticulture and oenology diploma. After a stay in New Zealand, where he vinified 10 hectares of Pinot Noir biodynamically, he worked with Frédéric Lafarge (Michel Lafarge estate) in Volnay and Michel Guignier in Vauxrenard, two biodynamists who inspired him greatly. He then took over small vineyard plots and lands with his sister Claire, who cultivates aromatic and medicinal plants. Today, Emmanuel is at the head of 10 hectares, which he tends with local plants from the same terroir. A magnificent ecosystem that offers us bright, sincere and hearty wines.
Amour Interdit is french for Forbidden Love, but we all know that true Love should never be denied, especially with this seductive nose of stewed red fruits and fresh flowers. On the palate, it's smooth, supple and easy to digest, a pleasure Gamay!
Ultreïa is Latin for "further and beyond", and it's also an encouragement we say on the roads to Santiago de Compostela... and on these steep hillsides, to give us strength and courage! That's the essence of this wine: an invigorating, pleasurable, smooth juice, perfect for any occasion.
Blackberry, blackcurrant, rose... We fell head over heels for this Gamay with lots of finesse, very elegant, soft, smoky, a gastronomic profile, a wine crafted for your food and wine pairings.
"With a deep sense of humility, it is with this heritage in mind that I take up the torch as a traveler on Earth." What a beautiful philosophy for the estate’s most accomplished cuvée, which brilliantly reveals the finesse of Gamay. This 2023 is even more complex, more sanguine and fresher.

Nose on red and black fruits, finely spicy, already calling for the table... Palate: fine tannins supporting a dense aromatic structure. An elegant wine, all in balance, with very nice drinkability.
A very fresh nose, with a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers and white fruits. A real “wow effect” from the very first sip—an unexpected and delightful surprise. The palate is more enveloping than the nose suggests, with lovely richness and a coating texture, yet never lacking vibrancy.
