Gamay Red Wine from Saint-Romain | Banana Caaaaaaat 2021

Banana Caaaaaaat 2021

Fiery
Sharp

Red wine from the Volcanic Loire! An explosion of fruit.

Do you love limited editions, ULTRA-limited ones? This 100% Gamay Saint-Romain from the volcanic soils of the Côte Roannaise is guaranteed banana-free. Inside the bottle, you’ll find nothing but… drumroll… grapes (wow! How do they do it?). Among insiders, we call this a “pur jus” aka pure juice. This unique cuvée drops by surprise, with only a handful of bottles produced. A rarity. A delight.

Winemaking

Hand-harvested grapes, sorted in the vineyard. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and without any additives from start to finish. Aged in barrels. Unfined, with no added sulfur, and no tricks like chaptalization, acid correction, coloring agents, or thickeners. We respect ourselves, and we respect you.

Winemaker

A four-handed creation by Christophe Kaczmarek and his friend Romain Paire in Côte Roannaise. This is the real deal: a pure natural wine, nothing but juice.

As always with Caaaaaaat, wines are vinified, blended, bottled, and packed at the estate, with respect for the soil, biodiversity, and the humans who make it all possible.

Vintage 2021

Climate
A cold, rainy year, highly atypical after several warm vintages. Historic spring frost, rain, and disease pressure (mildew, powdery mildew). A challenging vintage for growers.

Yield
Very low, especially in Burgundy and Champagne.

General Profile
Lighter wines with lots of freshness, echoing more classic profiles.
