Grape - Gamay
Alcohol - 13%
Available from - Waitrose, Tesco
Price - £10 (currently £7.50 in Waitrose)
Appearance - Clear, medium intensity, purple.
Nose - Clean, medium+ intensity, youthful. Red fruit (cherries, redcurrants, raspberries); black fruit (blackberries), plus a touch of floral (violets) and earthiness.
Palate - Dry, medium intensity, medium+ alcohol, medium+ acidity, medium body, medium- tannin. Lots of red fruit and violets.
This is excellent value, even at full price. It is very smooth and has surprising intensity and more than its fair share of complexity. I could see it matching up with a whole host of dishes.
