Fusion – Red This cuvée is named after the name of a music style which I very much like for its mixing of hip-hop and energetic rock. My favorite bands are Rage Against The Machine (of course), Faith No More, Suicidal Tendencies, Body Count. Regarding wine, it is also the fusion between gamay said from Auvergne and gamay said from Beaujolais and between two types of vinification. You can download the specification sheet in PDF.
