Gamay Saint-Romain is the local variant of gamay noir, known for its small, tight bunches which produce spicy, dense, extremely fruity, and fragrant juice. Romain Paire and his father Georges farm biodynamically, tending grapes and cereal grains as well as Limousin cattle on their centuries-old family farm.
