2023 GAMAY

Gamay is the dominant grape planted in the district of Beaujolais in Burgundy. It is often associated with a style called Beaujolais Nouveau which is a very light and easy drinking wine. However Beaujolais also produces more powerful and age-worthy wines from the better vineyard sites. These wines have structure, power and persistence and more closely resemble quality Pinot Noir.
