Mommessin 2010 Hospices de Beaujeu Cuvée des Sires de Beaujeu Gamay (Régnié)

Price $15

The Hospices de Beaujeu is a charitable foundation. Mommessin makes the wine from the foundation’s vineyards. This vintage is packed with black cherry fruit and lively acidity. It is also structured, creating an excellent balance. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

Domaine de Colette 2007 Vieilles Vignes Gamay (Régnié)

Price $18

Initially, this shows full-on fruit, in the softer Regnié style. Then the wine brings on light tannins, allied to acidity. But the sweet red cherry flavors are dominant, a delicious, gushing style. — R.V. (11/1/2009)

Best Buy
Online Exclusive

Price $10

This gorgeous Beaujolais will stand up to whatever your picnic serves up, from roast chicken or ham to cold meatloaf and all the accompanying salads. The bouncy black cherry fruit is gulpable, so you won't have to bring back any unfinished wine. Put it in the fridge the night before, pack your basket that morning and by the time you reach your destination it will… — J.C. (8/1/2005)

Georges Duboeuf 2008 Domaine des Buyats Gamay (Régnié)

The freshest of fruit, packed with redcurrants and early season raspberries. The wine has a light, crisp character, its tannins an adjunct to the flavorful fruit. — R.V. (11/1/2009)

Domaine Dupré 2010 Haute Ronze Gamay (Régnié)

Price $18

Tight and tannic with as much structure as fruit. The freshness comes from the acidity, although at the end strawberry juiciness shows through. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

Henry Fessy 2010 Château des Reyssiers Gamay (Régnié)

Price $16

This property, belonging to Henry Fessy, has produced a light-hearted wine, with hints of minerality, some dry tannins, juiciness and lively acidity. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

Georges Duboeuf 2002 Flower label Gamay (Régnié)

Best Buy

Price $10

$10. Intriguingly floral at first, but this is at heart a simple wine, cleanly made. Grapy and fresh, with some modest tannins on the firm finish. Give it six months to round into shape. — J.C. (11/15/2003)

Chateau de Pizay 2010 Gamay (Régnié)

Online Exclusive

Price $14

With some weight and attractive fruit richness, here is a wine that brings out all the red fruitiness of a Beaujolais cru, while not being unduly burdened with tannin or structure. Its fruitiness should be taken advantage of now. — R.V. (12/15/2011)
