Domaine Chignard
"Les Moriers" Fleurie Gamay
A really interesting Gamay for me almost more Pinot Noir like but with the Gamay wild fruit and a floral hint minerality seems young for 2014

May 25th, 2019While the color on this is beautiful I still don't find Gamay to be as extravagant as the hype behind it when it comes down to finding these at the $30 drink study threshold. Black cherry, black raspberry, some smoke, faint and rounded tannin aspect, lean body average acid. Not a wine that stresses/works the palate. 12.5% alc is perfect for me tonight. Not heavy enough in minerality or herbs to say something's there but it has some pink peppercorn, maybe licorice. Above average for the price
