Why this wine made the cut…
A transcendent Beaujolais for the price point.
Fleurie, Beaujolais, France
GRAPE VARIETAL(S)
Gamay
100% Ga-MAY
Gamay is a very old Burgundian variety often overshadowed by Pinot Noir. In the past, Gamay wines were often simple light and fruity wines, but old vine Gamay, especially Cru wines in Beaujolais have the potential to make very serious age-worthy wines with complex red and dark fruit, spice, and floral components at reasonable prices, especially for the serious complexity found in these wines.
