The Vin Nouveau has arrived
The Gamay Nouveau is an IGP wine while the Gaillac is an AOP. Its release was eagerly awaited by fans of Côtes-du-Tarn. It is the first to be released from our cellars, the one that is tasted to celebrate the end of the grape harvest, the one that offers you a taste of the new vintage: the IGP Côtes du Tarn Vin Nouveau was released on October 19th.__________
Its manufacturing secrets
As the name suggests, the Gamay Nouveau is made from a single grape: the Gamay. A highly aromatic variety that expresses very fruity and spicy aromas. The grapes are harvested early (early September), at full maturity. The wine is extracted by hot maceration and vinification at 20° to extract the colour and aromas of the fruit without adding too much tannin.
What is the difference between Gamay Nouveau and Primeur ?
Firstly, the Gamay Nouveau is an IGP (Protected Geographical Indication), unlike the Primeur which is in AOP (Protected Designation of Origin). These two wines have different specifications, specific to their origins. For example, the new wine undergoes a thermo-vinification process, but no malolactic fermentation, unlike the Primeur. Lastly, the Gamay Nouveau is earlier than the Primeur, since it is made with the very first Gamay harvested.
