About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of GamayBurgundy, FranceBourgogne Gamay became a new regional appellation from the 2011 vintage. The grapes used are exclusively from the Beaujolais Crus (predominantly granitic soils). The grapes are manually harvested. Light and fruity, Gamay is best enjoyed young. Its aromas are reminiscent of violets and red fruits, cherry kirsch and white pepper spice. Very supple in the mouth, it is a round, well-balanced, with a great freshness.

In the upsurge of popularity in recent years of lighter-bodied reds, along with pinot noir and grenache, sales of gamay have benefitted. The lower price of good Gamay, compared to pinot, attracts an ever-growing band of fans. This gold medal-winning Bourgogne Gamay will, no doubt, keep the flag flying. Slightly sappy, with a fleshy “plum tart” character, the wine is easy to quaff but carries plenty of structure and interest at the same time. At the price, it’s an affordable quality alternative to pinot noir. Chill it if you like.
