Tasting profile
Structure: light-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry
Au Layat is a Gamay from Nicolas Jacob, a small natural-wine grower in the southern Jura who trained with Jean Macle and Jean-François Ganevat. Gamay is not permitted in the Jura appellations, so it is bottled as Vin de France. A light, low-intervention red in the Jura idiom: bright red cherry, raspberry and currant with a peppery, earthy edge, fine tannin and lively acidity.
