Domaine Chignard
Beauvernay Juliénas Gamay
Characteristic of the region, this gamay has a nice purple color and is very aromatic with ripened tart red fruit and spices. Few tannins, low to medium acidity, and great smoothness. Some baking spices and raspberry, it drinks fresh. Has a depth and complexity that drinks at a higher price point.
