Plump, juicy and round with good bright and fresh acidity washing through to amplify the purity. Gets 8-12 months in concrete to keep things expressive and savoury and punching well above its price for Beaujolais village.

Phillipe Viet Beaujolais-Villages Gamay 2023

Who’d have thought… Sangiovese plus Merlot and Sagrantino can equal a Gamay-like wine. When it’s light and delicate thanks to a favourable growing season and the vines being at altitude. Unique and lovely.
