(2019 vintage notes)
gamay
purity
amateur wine

Grapes, more grapes, always grapes, with no additions (yeast, chaptalization or sulfur), and no interventions to convey the full purity and character of the terroir. Tentation gives the impression of an easy wine, but it is in fact complex, with great finesse and a touch of powder. A subtle, racy wine for connoisseurs.
