Purchase Gamay wines

Find on this page all the wines made entirely or partially from the Gamay grape variety. Most likely originating from Burgundy (a hamlet named Gamay exists near Saint-Aubin in Côte de Beaune), it was very prevalent there during the Middle Ages. However, Philippe the Bold decided to ban it in the 14th century, describing it as a "vile and disloyal" plant, leaving the region to the renowned Pinot Noir. Our Gamay was thus confined further south, within the Beaujolais region, where it still thrives wonderfully today, notably thanks to a predominantly granitic terroir.Thus, all the red wines from the region's appellations are made with  Gamay: Saint-Amour, Fleurie, Brouilly, Morgon, etc. Particularly known for its delicate fruitiness and delightful smoothness notably obtained through carbonic or semi-carbonic maceration, this grape variety can also offer beautiful age-worthy wines with lovely power (even if not very tannic) when produced with low yields and aged "à la Bourguignonne." It should be noted that it is also found in some appellations of Loire as a secondary grape variety.
