Gamay ‘Les Classiques’, Vignerons Ardechois

£13.00

Juicy, fruity and great value – Gamay from the Ardèche

The Vignerons Ardéchois Cave Co-opérative has its roots in the late 1960s when the Presidents of 7 major cave co-opératives agreed a unified policy of modernisation, re-planting and marketing. Based in the town of Ruoms, this forward-thinking, modernist collective has done much to revive the fortunes of this ancient vine-area, which dates back to Roman times. Today, the co-opérative represents some 2000 grape growers from 21 smaller co-operatives. As such, it’s a terrific source of keenly-priced, well-made wines.

This is a lovely example of Gamay from the Ardeche, made using carbonic maceration to emphasise the vibrant fruit and floral character of the wine. The nose is filled with enticing aromas of violets, cherries and blueberries, while the palate is soft, smooth and balanced, with fine tannic structure and lovely refreshing acidity.
