Winemaker Gregoire Hoppenot is a born and raised Beaujolais native, and with quite a pedigree of employment under esteemed wine houses like Chapoutier’s Maison Trenel and Pierre Chermette, we’d say this guy knows what he’s doing.
This Gamay is an approachable and elegant natural wine. Bright red berries, currants, and a hint of rose petal on the nose with a palate that’s playful and juicy, but this wine still has loads of sophisticated structure thanks to the silky tannins and the granite-y, mineral finish. Young but ready to impress, put a light chill on it for a real treat!
Food Ideas: Pork chops with garlic and herbs, Asiago cheese & crusty baguette, rabbit stroganoff, summer cookout!
