Gamay

The Gamay variety is used to make red wines and Gamay vines often produce large amounts of fruit. This makes the Gamay variety a popular one. When planted on soils with high levels of acidity, Gamay creates a softer and less acidic taste, which reduces the variety’s natural tendency to produce high acidity. Gamay is a thin-skinned purple-colored grape that is primarily blended to create Beaujolais Nouveau. Gamay is used to reduce the acid and bring out fruit flavors. Gamay is also used to create low tannin red wines. When planted on alkaline soils, Gamay vines tend to grow shallow, which increases the level of acidity in the grapes. The grape’s acidity is reduced through the carbonic maceration process that brings out flavors similar to strawberries and raspberries. Gamay grows well in the region of Beaujolais, France, and is grown all across the country, including the Loire Valley and Tours. These regions typically blend the variety with Cabernet Franc and Cot to create exquisite French wines. Gamay is also grown in parts of Canada, the United States, and in some wineries in Australia. This wine is best paired with foods that are high in fat, oil, or salt, and works well with fish, such as grilled salmon.

Piron Morgon Cote du Py 2023

Dominique Piron Morgon Cote du Py is made from 100 percent Gamay.

The Morgon Cru is based in the heart of Northern Beaujolais. Côte du Py is the heart of Morgon, a little hill of very old blue stone rocks - the oldest soils of Beaujolais (around 430 millions years old), with a typical blue color.
Côte du Py has been known for centuries for being the best terroir of the village, producing long lived wines with strong structure and flavors.

Wines of the Côte du Py are very dark, profound and dense. Classic aromas of red berries, cherry, kirsh. Fruity, structured and mineral in the mouth with graphite flavors and spicy notes of black and white pepper. Wine can age up to 10 years.

Hand picked grapes are sorted manually and destemmed for 50 to 70%. Fermentation starts in concrete tanks and lasts for 18-25 days with remontages and pigeages. Then after pressurage starts the aging, for 2/3 in concrete tanks, and 1/3 in recent French oak barrels with batonages on fine lies only. After 10 month we do the blending, keeping only the best cuvees and best barrels, and do the bottling.

Pairs well with red meat like beef, duck and game (Hare, Dear, Wild Pork,…), cheses.
