The craze of Beaujolais Nouveau has finally passed and we go back to our regular scheduled programming, cherishing grandiose Gamay for what it truly is - a grape that has the ability to exhibit the nuances of place and to age and evolve, but also one that instigates thirst-quenching joy. In this Bingo Box, we’ve chosen 6 of our favourites, mostly from Beaujolais, but also a few from the Rhone, Auvergne and wait for it - South Australia. Great Gamay is now produced everywhere in the world and is a train you shouldn’t be missing.
Belly Wine Experiment Crac Petillant Gris 2021
Domaine Saint-Cyr Galoche Rosé 2021
Persephone Rouge Deux 2021
Lucy Margaux Rosso 2022
Domaine de Botheland Prémices 2021
Romuald Valot Chirobules 2020
Belly Wine Experiment is a fresh project headed by two young winemakers in Auvergne, France. Crac Petillant Gris 2021 is a true feat of winemaking innovation. With its effervescent bubbles and delicate pink hue, it's the perfect accompaniment to a warm summer evening. Each sip is a journey of discovery, with notes of tart grapefruit and juicy watermelon giving way to a subtle floral finish.
The Domaine Saint-Cyr Galoche Rosé 2021 captures the essence of a lazy afternoon in the French countryside. Its delicate salmon color and refreshing acidity make it the perfect complement to a plate of fresh cheese and crusty bread. With hints of wild strawberries and a hint of minerality, it's a wine that truly transports you to the heart of the Beaujolais.
Persephone Rouge Deux 2021 is made from free-run Gamay juice with a small splash of direct-press Pinot Gris and bottled under crown cap. Chipper, energetic red. Sour cherry, cranberry through to its dry, chalky conclusion, rose water, sage and bay leaf herbal notes. Level and even in the palate. This feels distinct, very serious, beautiful to drink. A high bar. Lucy Margaux Rosso 2022 is a wine that's as vibrant and energetic as the man who created it. If you're looking for a funky little pizza night red, this juicy and vibrant rosso from Lucy M will do just the trick.
Prémices is serious, great Beaujo. Train tracks of acidity, with a brush stroke of tannin that ripples along in dark cherry fruitiness, some hazelnut and anise in the way, fennel notes and a juiciness despite the crispness and laidback powdery pucker going on. A triumph of deliciousness, so appealing and accessible yet with structure to boot. Kudos. Romuald Valot’s Chirobules is all about the art of patience. Its rich, deep flavors of black currant and vanilla are the result of years of careful aging in oak barrels. Each sip is a testament to the power of time and the importance of letting things develop at their own pace. It's a wine that rewards those who are willing to wait for the best things in life.
