- Background
- This wine is the exception in Burgundy. By law, it is two-thirds Gamay and one-third Pinot Noir; so it is the only red wine in Burgundy that is not 100% Pinot Noir. It is very popular because of its low price point and wonderful drinkability.
- Tasting Notes
- Fresh, jammy cherry and cranberry fruit with a touch of peppery spice. You taste the fruitiness of the Gamay grape up front and then the structure of the Pinot Noir kicks in at mid palate. A pleasing combination of fruit and body.
