Château Thivin 2007 Cuvée Zaccharie Gamay (Côte de Brouilly)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
Perfumed, earthy, spicy, this is a balanced wine that brings its tannins firmly together with black fig, black plum skins and sweet juicy black cherries. The core is dry, but the delicious fruit finally dominates. That said, it is sure to have some good aging.

Robert Perroud 2010 La Fournaise du Pérou Gamay (Côte de Brouilly)
- Editors' Choice
- $19
Concentrated fruits dominate this ripe, juicy wine. Firm tannins lend structural support to this generous, textured selection. Age it for another year.

Château Thivin 2008 Cuvée Sept Vignes Gamay (Côte de Brouilly)
With its aging in large barrels, this has a fine sense of dense structure allied to minerality and tight minerality. Flavors of cherries, concentrated fruits, violets, spice, all suggest an aging potential of five years plus.

Domaine des Terres Dorées 2008 Gamay (Côte de Brouilly)
Jean-Paul Brun uses only natural yeast, giving a wine that is rich in fruit, and that has a delicious light bounce to it. The flavors are of wild strawberries, red cherries and refreshing acidity.

Paul Beaudet 2009 Domaine de Chardignon Gamay (Côte de Brouilly)
- $20
Powerfully rich wine, with jammy fruit flavors to go with its strawberry fruits. The wine is driven by its ripe fruit, the acidity coming through the sweetness to finish freshly and with some tannic, ageworthy structure.

Henry Fessy 2008 Gamay (Côte de Brouilly)
- $18
A firm, tannic style, a real step up from the Brouilly from the same producer. The wine is tight, with red berry and raspberry fruit flavors, and a mineral, terroir-driven character.

Pierre Ferraud et Fils 2008 Domaine Rolland Gamay (Côte de Brouilly)
With its dense fruits and soft tannins, this is the epitome of sunsoaked, ripe Gamay. The red cherry and berry fruits are ripe, the wine is balanced, it is open, easy. Structure may be missing, but then the fruit is so attractive.
