Agamy, the art of Gamay
Agamy is the number one Lyon region cooperative group, as the product of a merger in 2016 between Les Vignerons Foréziens (Trelins, Loire), Cave des Coteaux du Lyonnais (Sain-Bel, Rhône), as well as Cave de Signé Vignerons (Bully and Quincié in Beaujolais, Rhône). These three cooperatives are united by the Gamay’s Art and passion.

The Wines
These two wines are part of our Haute Couture range. They reveal Gamay’s exceptional character. Assisted by a dozen growers, we have selected parcels from our hillside vineyards, managed according to specific requirements. The grapes are hand-picked when fully ripened, thereby allowing us to increase the crisp and fresh character of our wines made from Gamay. The Decanter World Wine Awards (May 2015) have attributed a gold medal to Les Combes and a silver medal to Memoria.
Memoria means memory in Latin, to pay tribute to the cellar winemakers founders.
