Tasting notes
The Bourgogne Gamay 2015 is mainly made up of Chenas, Regnie and Moulin-a-Vent with 10% Burgundian Pinot Noir completing the cuvee. This wine is shimmering ruby-red in colour and reveals floral aromas. It is well-balanced, tasty revealing flavours of red fruits, chlorophyll, and fresh almond.
Description
Bourgogne Gamay became a new regional appellation as of the 2011 vintage. The grapes must come exclusively from the Beaujolais Crus (Brouilly, Chenas, Chiroubles, Cote-de-Brouilly, Fleurie, Julienas, Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, Regnie, Saint-Amour). Gamay from the vineyards of the
Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages appellations cannot be used in the case of this new appellation. Our approach is to produce a wine which focuses on fruit and freshness with consistent quality.
