Brouilly Gamay 2021

Very tart, lip - smacking cherry juice. Would be lovely on the deck on a warm summer evening. Alas, it’s 25 and snowing, but nice nonetheless. Takes a little of the chill out of winter. — 2 days ago

Vieilles Vignes Morgon Gamay 2022

Quite nice - fruity but not too jammy. Not sure I would have paid $45 for it though — 8 months ago

Clos De La Roilette

Clos de la Roilette Griffe du Marquis Fleurie Gamay 2012

My favorite Roilette bottling. Old vine; 90+. This is proof that Cru Beaujolais can age. Darker and heavier than your typical Gamay. Darker fruit, mix of red and black fruit. More structure and a little oak, medium tannins. Becoming harder and harder to source. Have a vertical from 2013 to 2020. — 9 days ago

Régnié Gamay

Solid beauj. Lightweight with super soft (if any) tannins. Nose has an overriding vegetal characteristic. Mildest cherry finish. — a month ago

Marcel Lapierre

Morgon Gamay 2018

Always lovely and fun to try with a bit more age. Still lots of flowers and cherry but with a notably darker edge now. Dangerously drinkable while still being very interesting. Good pairing with a Christmas Eve ham from hometown bbq. — a month ago

Beaujolais-Villages Gamay

Medium plum-toned ruby in color, with aromas of strawberry, tart red cherry, banana, raspberry, and cranberry. Dry with medium-plus acidity and a medium body. Bright, balanced, and refreshing.
