Chateau de Pizay 2011 Gamay (Morgon)
- Best Buy
- $15
Of all the Beaujolais crus, Morgon is the one for aging. This wine, with its powerful structure, exemplifies age-worthiness. It is weighty and dense, with a solid feel, plus juicy, opulent fruit that helps to balance the wine. Keep for 3–4 years.

Chateau de Pizay 2010 Gamay (Morgon)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Still firmly tannic, this is a wine that needs aging. It has weight and a dry core to go with its rich dark cherry and red berry fruits. There is also a fine juicy element that pushes right through the tannins. Keep for a year.

Chateau de Pizay 2008 Gamay (Morgon)
- $14
A big, burly wine, it fruit bursting out of the tannins. It has sweetness, ripe fruits and a fine, juicy character. What it does lack is the over-arching structure of the best Morgon, but the compensation is the delicious fruit.

Chateau de Pizay 2011 Gamay (Régnié)

A red-fruited wine, this is a bright and crisp selection from the lightest of the Beaujolais cru villages. Its acidity cuts through the soft fruit flavors, and it has touch of tannin. Ready to drink.

Chateau de Pizay 2001 Gamay (Morgon)
The black cherry fruit that forms the core of this wine is still remarkably fresh and vibrant under layers of tree bark, chocolate and earth. The supple texture is a treat; a notable success for the vintage.

Chateau de Pizay 2007 Gamay (Morgon)
- $14
Red cherry aromas with a touch of smokiness promise well. But the palate is light for a Morgon, bringing out acidity and austere tannins. The acidity comes through the redcurrant flavors, with candy sweetness showing to finish.
