This cuvée is made from grapes from a plot selection at altitude which provides a certain freshness to this sunny vintage. Ultreïa means in Latin “Further and beyond” and thus reflects the state of mind of the work carried out on these steep hillsides. It is a wine of pleasure, fine and elegant with floral notes! A very nice natural Gamay!
DOMAIN
Emmanuel Rostaing-Tayard grew up in Savigny. It was his paternal grandparents who passed on to him the love of nature, viticulture and wine. Curious by nature, he first left to explore other worlds. It was finally after the death of his grandparents in 2016 that he gave in to returning to the land. He then began a professional reconversion supplemented by several experiences in other wine-growing lands, in France and abroad. In 2020, he had the opportunity to save the last plots of Savigny Gamay at the last minute. The village, once considered a cradle of viticulture, has seen its wine-growing lands disappear one by one in favor of real estate construction. After arduous work, he managed to preserve the last square of old Récy vines, restore it and thus become “the irreducible winegrower of Savigny”, the only winegrower to sculpt the landscape of the commune. Since then, it has covered 9 hectares in the villages of Savigny (Côteaux du Lyonnais) and Saint-Romain-de-Popey (Beaujolais), all managed organically and biodynamically. The preparations are notably made from 100% local plants, grown and transformed by his sister Claire, a farmer herbalist in Savigny.
