Domaine des Nugues 2006 Quintessence de Gamay (Beaujolais-Villages)
- Online Exclusive
A supremely ripe wine, the fruit fitting well into the structure, which shows the perfumed, enticing character of Gamay. Flavors of red plums mingle with the lightest touch of tannins, the full-bodied character of the wine just edged with fresh acidity. As its name suggests, if you want to taste Gamay, this wine says it all.

Domaine des Nugues 2005 Quintessence du Gamay (Beaujolais-Villages)
- Online Exclusive
This is a fine example of how well some Beaujolais can age. The fruit is fading but it has been replaced by a wine with fine maturity, rich, concentrated, showing sweet tannins over still-fresh acidity. There is just a hint of wood aging to underline the richness of the wine.

Domaine des Nugues 2010 Gamay (Beaujolais-Villages)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
Powerful and concentrated, this has a dark red-plum flavor and solid tannins. It is dense, and it shows the structure of the vintage. This is worth aging, and it certainly needs food to show at its best.

Terroirs et Talents 2006 Château de la Terrière Gamay (Beaujolais-Villages)
A hint of wood is a good sign of the richness and balance of this wine. There is some dryness and tautness to go with its black cherry and plum-skin flavors. There is a big and bold fruity aftertaste.

Château du Chatelard 2007 Vieilles Vignes Gamay (Beaujolais-Villages)
- $15
Good structured fruit, with ripe sweet cherry flavors, appears alongside hints of raspberries. Fresh, but with some weight and solidity.

Domaine Rochette 2008 Gamay (Beaujolais-Villages)
- Online Exclusive
An excellent, full-bodied, intensely fruity wine. It is big, ripe, the black cherry and red plum flavors bursting out, spiced with some wood. This is very drinkable now, but in 6–9 months, this will bring in some textured tannins as well.

Domaine Dominique Piron 2009 Domaine de la Chanaise Gamay (Beaujolais-Villages)
- $14
Ripe red cherry fruit, laced with refreshing acidity, gives this wine a great lift and liveliness. Its fruit goes right through the palate, with soft tannins as a backdrop. Drink this year.

Domaine des Nugues 2011 Gamay (Beaujolais-Villages)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
A wine with some depth, this is layered with fine tannins. The acidity and red cherry flavor are held up by its firm structure. It’s also fruity enough to be consumed now.
