Beaujolais-Villages Gamay

Chunky. Sour fruits and granite. Solid; not terribly complex, but you get the feeling it was quite hot and dry here in ‘16. Super effort at getting balance and preserving freshness. #gelin #beaujolaisvillages #gamay

Plummy, dark, rich. Typical for the vintage, but also has plenty of acidity and a pronounced minerality. Excellent. #gamay2015 #beaujolaisvillages

Didn't know what to expect, but definitely a worthy every day bottle to have around. Touch of pepper on the nose. Light in body with a bit of cinnamon. Tannins aren't strong. Could use a bit of time, but also very good now. Went really well with salmon dusted with parsley, thyme, rosemary and garlic. Will definitely be buying more.

Beetroot, rhubarb, cranberries and happy. Impeccably balanced, and a real vin de gourmand. Seamless. #beaujolais #gamay

Decent techno wine

Tart fruit, nice balance and depth; not your mother’s boojalay.

Unexpected, been disappointed by Beaujolais in the past. Nicely balanced between fruit, acidity, and tannins, pleasing finish. Paired very well with grilled prime ribeye. Would buy again.

Obviously an entry level Beaujolais, but the style is lovely. Light to medium bodied, with plenty of gently spicy fruit and a drying but not overpowering tannin structure that made it a delight with chicken and mushroom risotto. A hint of raspberry cordial and anise on the nose. Fun drinking and good value. I'll be getting more for spring.

Great wine

Dry, fruity and straightforward.
