Popped into Terroirs for an early evening bite, and along with beautiful rilletes, pork terrine and Kernel table beer, we had this lovely Gamay.<\/p>\n
It’s from the C\u00f4tes du Forez, which is a small appellation with just a handful of growers and a co-op, located in the middle of France between the Loire and Allier rivers. Just Gamay vines are grown here in the\u00a0foothills of the volcanic mountains of the Massif Central, and this wine is made from old vines from iron-rich basaltic soils.\u00a0ay as the sole grape to be used and Verdier-Logel produces separate wines including \u2013 from volcanic soils \u201cVolcanique\u201d \u2013and from granite soils \u201cCuv\u00e9e des Gourmets\u201c. These soils impart a rich earthy fragrance to the wines which combines well with the elegant fruitiness of the Gamay grape.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>13.5% alcohol.\u00a0Gamay from volcanic soils. Intense and full bodied with dense, spicy blackberry and cherry fruit with some fine spiciness. Very juicy and richly textured with grainy tannins. So good and so drinkable, and remarkably dense for a Gamay. This is utterly delicious, and has a hint of seriousness, too. 92\/100<\/p>\n\n
