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

$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.

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.

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

$18
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.
