The Eton Vintners team favourite for everyday easy drinking at an accessible price. This classic wine with its translucent purple colour and vibrant aromas of raspberry and violets just slips down. The palate is vibrant with a wonderful juicy and fresh finish – just as a Beaujolais should be. Gamay at its best from this good vintage. This wine is great chilled at lunchtime or good even as an appetiser wine. Coq au vin is also a classic with Beaujolais red.

More Information
Gamay
Gamay is Beaujolais – few are the wine regions whose identities are so tied up with their grapes. 99% of the Beaujolais vineyard area – a fifth of all France‘s – is planted with the grape. Here it reaches the pinnacle of its reputation as a light bodied, intensely fruity, racily acid wine often released quickly and intended for early, preferably summertime, drinking. It is bush-trained in order to keep its buoyant growth in check and often vinified by carbonic maceration. Some producers in the more distinguished villages vinify traditionally to give wines of greater structure and more restrained fruit. Gamay is also grown throughout Eastern Europe, the Loire Valley, Savoy, Italy and Switzerland.
