Pascal Aufranc 2011 Vignes de 1939 Gamay (Chénas)

Editors' Choice

Price $35

Made using fruit that was sourced from vines planted in 1939, this wine shows the great concentration low yields and old vines can give. It has Gamay’s natural freshness, with firm, dry tannins, a spice note and a fragrant finish. It’s drinkable now, but it will be better in two years. — R.V. (3/1/2013)

Pascal Aufranc 2009 Les Crots Vieilles Vignes Gamay (Juliénas)

Cellar Selection

Price $22

Despite its underlying richness, this is a very structured wine, solidly based on dry tannins and firm acidity. This texture, which is also given extra liveliness by its red cherry fruits, suggests a wine for aging over 2–3 years. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

Pascal Aufranc 2007 Gamay (Juliénas)

Price $17

A deeply concentrated wine that makes full use of its tannins to go for black fruits, some sweetness and a final dense texture. It has power, but the fruit is still refreshing with its acidity, balancing each other in a comfortable double act. — R.V. (11/1/2009)

points

Pascal Aufranc 2011 Les Cerisiers Gamay (Juliénas)

Price $17

This selection is named after the cherry trees that border the vineyard, and it’s not too much of a stretch of the imagination to find a red cherry flavor in the wine. Red berry fruits are there as well, backed up by dry, firm tannins. — R.V. (3/1/2013)
