In Stock & Ready To Ship!

The grapes are harvested from the best slopes of Beaujolais-Villages where the soil transitions from clay-limestone of the south to granite in the north. These granitic, sandy soils with favourable sunshine, are the perfect place to grow gamay.

In the glass the wine is a beautiful red with purple reflections. The aromas are of red and black berry fruits whilst the palate is crunchy, juicy, and and fruity - just like you expect Beaujolais to be. This is all complimented by well structured tannins.

Serve this with a simple roast chicken, or try it with egg shakshuka.

Gamay

Gamay is a thin, delicate purple-black skinned grape which is cylindrical and compact, surrounded by flat, fairly even-edged leaves.

Although granite soils seem to be its soil of choice, the variety is good at adapting. Half of the 30,000 hectares of Gamay planted worldwide are in the Beaujolais region of France, where it covers 98% of the areas that produce Beaujolais wine.

Beaujolais, France

The hilly Beaujolais vineyards stretch out from north to south over 55km, bordered to the west by the Massif Central, and to the east by the Saone river.

Beaujolais vineyards are emblematic in the French national landscape, but are still teeming with secrets to be unearthed. The region has a constent sense of welcome and sharing. Sculpted over centuries it is personified by its 12 AOCs.
