Jean Claude Bachelet, 1er Cru Les Champlots

Terroir Talks with Jean-Baptiste Bachelet: This premier cru is above the village of Gamay and has a west exposure, medium to high slopes - up to 320m. The mains difference here is the soil - marl ie limestone and clay and the impact of the marl, says Jean-Baptiste is to make a richer wine. We take a panorama around the vineyards and Jean-Baptiste shares some anecdotal info on the origins of the name Gamay.
