Flavour Profile
Vibrant red‑berry aromas lead the way: think strawberry, raspberry and a hint of cranberry. The palate delivers juicy tart cherry and soft berry compote with a finely tuned hint of spice and minerality. Light in body but rich in character, this Gamay remains fresh and playful while still offering enough structure to feel more than just a “party” wine.
About the Winery
The wine comes from Domaine Marcel Lapierre in the Beaujolais region, a house long‑respected for its organic, biodynamic and low‑intervention practices. Grapes are hand‑harvested, vinified with minimal sulphur, and treated with care to let the site and variety shine through.
About Beaujolais / Gamay
This is Gamay from the Beaujolais region of France, a grape known for producing wines that are light‑bodied yet deeply pleasurable, with fresh fruit, low tannin and energy. Beaujolais wines like this one are moving beyond the “new” label and being appreciated for craft, terroir and authenticity.
How to Pair It
Serve lightly chilled (~12–14 °C) to fully enjoy its fruit and freshness. It pairs beautifully with cured or smoked meat, poultry, mixed salads or grain dishes, but you’ll also find it remarkable with charcuterie, roasted veggies or simply good company.
