Domaine du Clos du Fief Juliénas Gamay

9.0

Traditional 100% Gamay coming from a Vineyard by the hills with a stony clay soil on shallow blue stones, manually harvested from vines averaging +50 years. A wine made in very small quantities (around 2500 bottles per harvest).
Plummy, dark prunes, red fruit marmalade, delicate acidity, a more fruit-forward styled Gamay on both nose and palate. Very long finish with medium tannins and a bit of rich at the very end. Can even be paired with lean and shredded beef in red sauces. — 3 days ago

Another very nice ‘22 Bojo. I am in the process of revising upward my view of the ‘22 vintage there. Nose is very exuberant, with pure and zingy black cherry fruit, verging into purple berry territory, and nose-tingly granitic rock dust. There is also a dusting of baking spice. In the mouth it has nice concentration, ripe but zingy fruit, integrated minerality. Acids are surprisingly crisp. I expect this to integrate and be better in a year or two. But really nice now as well. — 2 months ago

I think i am warming up to Gamay

I have always loved (well-made) Gamay. Great fruit, transmits terroir well, and, most importantly for me, tends to match well with lots of the meals we cook. For the same reason I drink lots of Chianti Classico. Together, these are my chief “go-to” wines for meals.
