Les Charmes Morgon Gamay

Not exactly Lapierre, but at ten bucks, who cares? Still tastes like a granite and strawberry sandwich, with more acid yip than I'd have thought. Decent with fuck-it-all weeknight pasta.

Bright red fruit. Wonderful acidity. A food wine to the fullest. #gamay

For our last experimental dinner of the season we did an ode to Julia Child. Six course tasting menu paired with 5 wines. I paired this with Coq Au Vin. 50 year old vines planted on a granite hill facing southwest. Husband and wife team, they make 500 cases of this wine, the 16 had strong black fruit, super ripe, with a lot of pepper, nice wine for $13.3 wholesale...fun to work with and people loved the pairing

Very young, shame to open but still showed nicely on Pnp: inky, opaque, delicate mostly red fruit, bit of black tinted fruit, but big time white pepper, smoke, leather & savory. Lush on palate, nice grip - maybe lacking some acidity, but all in all quite delicious

Tasty cherry and red fruits with plenty of acidity. Good with a juicy burger.

Dark ruby color. Somewhat gamey nose with raspberry, black pepper, and hints of potting soil . On the palate, it’s medium bodied with plenty of wild berry fruit, little tannin, good acidity, and 14% alcohol. Made from 100% Gamay aged 6 to 8 months in neutral French oak demi-muid barrels with only 500 cases produced. This was a perfect Thanksgiving Day red! $25.
