Domaine Dominique Piron 2009 Domaine Piron-Lameloise Gamay (Chénas)

  1. $21
Granite soil with strata of quartz gives this wine its intense texture, very structured and tight. It’s at a young stage, the red currant and dark cherry fruits integrating with the firm character of the wine. Keep for two years.  — R.V.  (7/1/2011)

Henry Fessy 2009 Gamay (Chénas)

  1. $19
Sweet plum juice and strawberry flavors, a typical wine of the vintage. Acidity and tannins are well integrated into the ripe character of this delicious wine.  — R.V.  (10/1/2011)

Georges Duboeuf 2008 Flower Label Gamay (Chénas)

  1. $14
A firm, properly tannic wine, with good dense structure and some powerful black berry fruits. The acidity shoots through the fruit, giving a delicious early juiciness. The tannins promise a good development - worth keeping.  — R.V.  (11/1/2009)

Château du Chénas 2007 Sélection de la Hanté Gamay (Chénas)

  1. $16
For a 2007 in Beaujolais, this has some weight. True, the fruit has more bubble gum flavor than intensity, but, with a tight band of dry tannins, there is substance in the structure and in the strawberry flavors. Age over the next year.  — R.V.  (11/1/2009)
