About

This Beaujolais Gamay, aged in steel vats, benefits from the Bourgogne-Gamay appellation, in existence since 2011.

Your questions, our answers.

Is this Bourgogne-Gamay a good choice for discovering a Burgundy red other than Pinot Noir?

Yes, this cuvée offers a chance to discover a Gamay from Beaujolais under the Bourgogne-Gamay appellation. It provides an alternative to a Bourgogne Pinot Noir, although the information provided does not allow for a precise comparison of their aromas or structure.

Can I choose this wine if I’m looking for a red wine strongly influenced by oak aging?

The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks, not barrels. It is therefore not the cuvée to choose if you’re specifically looking for an oaky character from aging.

Does the Bourgogne-Gamay designation mean this wine comes from the Côte d’Or?

No: the description specifies that this Gamay comes from Beaujolais. It carries the Bourgogne-Gamay appellation, which has existed since 2011; the Bourgogne designation should therefore not lead you to mistake it for a red wine from the Côte d’Or.

Is the Parker score of 86 enough to know whether this 2020 suits my tastes?

The score provides a point of reference, but no tasting notes are included here. On its own, it therefore cannot tell you whether you’ll find the aromas, tannins, or balance you enjoy.

What would this bottle bring to a tasting alongside Robert Groffier’s 2020 Bourgogne Pinot Noir?

The two bottles make it possible to compare Gamay and Pinot Noir from the same vintage. It’s an opportunity to explore two grape varieties from two different producers, without automatically attributing any differences you notice in the glass to the grape variety alone.

80 à 89 Grande intensité aromatique, finesse et équilibre : bon niveau.

70 à 79 Plaisant, peu de complexité : niveau moyen.

60 à 69 Quelques défauts perceptibles : niveau très moyen.

50 à 59 Détection de défauts, manque d'équilibre : niveau acceptable.
