WINERY NOTES - The vines for this petit cuvée are planted on the north-facing side of the lieu-dit Charbonnières, situated high up in the forest of Fleurie. Walking through the steep slopes in season, one will run into an array of flora and fauna flourishing in the woodland ecosystem. Face Nord harnesses all of this life and energy and carries it into the bottle. While the north side of the vineyard sees less peak hour sunlight, the gamay is dominated by aromatics of wild herbs and a black pepper note, the latter of which becomes more prominent with bottle aging. Face Nord is only made in vintages that permit it.
