Grape

Gamay

Origin
Gamay is always hand harvested, as fermentation of uncrushed grapes begins within the grapes in the absence of oxygen. Domaine des Nuges, founded in 1976, conducts this fermentation in open top vats, resulting in semi carbonic maceration as oxygen slowly gets introduced.
Taste
Very bright and vibrantly coloured. Aromas of red berries, red fruit and spice leap from the glass. The intense colour is not matched by the tannins, which are light and soft, with an almost sweet finish.
Enjoy
At its best when drunk young, enjoy this over the next 18 months, with mushrooms or cold meats over lunch, tuna or even steak tartare.

    outstanding example of a wonderful year for Beaujolais.

    We've stayed in Lancié at a Producer's B&B a couple of times in the last 3 years so we'd tasted the super 2005 vintage and had been alerted that 2009 and possibly also 2010 were excellent as well. Lovely colour, fresh vibrant fruity aromas ; overall quality of the Nugues-Villages far superior to many Burgundies I've drunk. Bet you run out of stock quickly, but hope not !
