Château des Jacques 2006 Clos de Rochegrès Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)

  1. $35
Exploding with perfumes, aromas of violets, sweet cherries and spice, this is an impressive wine, with wild cherries and damson plums. It is taut, almost Pinot Noir in its velvet texture, finishing with ripe, sweet fruit sustained by tannins.  — R.V.  (11/1/2009)

Jacques Charlet 2009 Champ de Cour Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)

  • Cellar Selection
Such a concentrated wine, with the intensity of red Burgundy but with the juiciness of Beaujolais. Swathes of smooth fruit wash around the palate, coupled with a touch of minerality and a dense texture. Age for 2–3 years and more.  — R.V.  (10/1/2011)

Château de la Terrière 2009 Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)

A wine that combines richness with a great structure. It is ripe, smoky, the red fruits rich and concentrated. A wine that is packed with juicy fruit and also with a good aging potential.  — R.V.  (10/1/2011)

Lucien Lardy 2009 Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $19
Sweet strawberry and cherry fruits are the soft cover to this intensely tannic wine. That structure shows its power, concentration and ageworthiness. Keep for three years and the richness will be fully revealed.  — R.V.  (10/1/2011)

Richard Rottiers 2010 Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)

Smoky wine, rich as well as structured. The acidity of the year is integrated into the structure, the firm tannins and juicy red berry fruits a balanced pleasure to taste.  — R.V.  (10/1/2011)

Mommessin 2010 Domaine de Champ de Cours Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)

  1. $16
Structured, with layers of dark tannins and black cherry flavors. It’s packed with plum juice, hinting almost at Pinot Noir, while also retaining the lovely open Gamay fruit.  — R.V.  (10/1/2011)

Georges Duboeuf 2010 Domaine des Rosiers Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)

  1. $18
Enthusiast 100 2011
Intense and rich wine, with touches of smoky wood, the tannins ripe, the acidity a refreshing balancing factor. With its cherry character, there is fruit already, but wait a year and this will be impressive.  — R.V.  (10/1/2011)
