Best known in Beaujolais, Loire Valley
The grape of Beaujolais. Juicy red berries, floral notes and low tannin make it a joy to drink, especially served slightly cool. The ten Crus produce deeper, more serious versions that can age well, and the Loire makes light, crunchy examples too.
France
Unfairly dismissed by those who only know Nouveau. The ten Beaujolais Crus — Morgon, Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent and seven others — make serious, terroir-driven Gamay that can age remarkably well. Serve slightly cool. Drink with everything.
