This wine gives Cru Beaujolais a run for the money! Winemaker JL Groulx treats his Gamay like a top Pinot Noir, meaning he uses classic fermentation (no carbonic) and aging in partial new oak. To further enhance quality he also picked the grapes at a super ripe 14.9% alcohol, but by no means is there any sense of heaviness. The wall-to-wall cherry jam, pepper, coffee and cocoa mesh with medium tannins and acidity. Drink over the next 5 years.
