Dark ruby color with purple hue. Nose of ripe red and black berries with spices note, earth and violet flowers. Quite concentrated on the palate, it still finds balance due to its acidity level and a sour-bitter finish that brings in some crispyness to the wine. Feels structured (for a Gamay of course, not generally speaking!), it’ll hold on for a few years, or few minutes in your glass as it’s the two options offered with this wine! Good+ (88)

Made of  Gamay from vines planted between 1967 and 1978. Aged in tanks. Alcohol level of  12%

Available in SAQ stores for 16,75$ (Code SAQ : 00329532)

Medium dark purple color. Nose of fruits, berries, fruits, spices, fruits, earth… Flavors are dominated by fruit notes, spices and earth. It might looks like a very primary description for a tasting note, but fir those like that are powered with Gamay based wines are gonna be pleased with this one. Might lack some depth or concentration, but this is quaffable… at that’s what’s great with it! Very good (89)

Purple and dense color, quite unusual for Gamay wines. Nose of red and black berries, spices, earth and mineral notes. Wide on the palate, much more than previous vintages of this wine, really tasty and more concentrated, the sun does show through the wine, which makes it even more quaffable! Good+ (88)
