Sort By:

Henry Fessy 2009 Gamay (Saint-Amour)

Cellar Selection

Price $20

Ripe, rounded and generous, a warm plum juice-flavored wine. There is power and concentration. It is a very complete, ageworthy wine, although accessible now. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

Henry Fessy 2009 Gamay (Fleurie)

Price $20

Enthusiast 100 2011

A richly aromatic wine, with swathes of sweet fruit, ripe tannins and a juicy, jammy feel. This is so generous, open, welcoming. There is structure as well, cushioned by the sweet fruits. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

Henry Fessy 2009 Gamay (Morgon)

Cellar Selection

Price $19

A really ripe wine, rich and with a generous feel to it. The sweet cherry fruit is powered with plum juice, dense tannins and structure. A wine for aging. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

Henry Fessy 2010 Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)

Price $20

A very structured wine, as befits this normally powerful cru. It is packed with dark tannins and minerality. The wine is angular, and you can taste the granite and schist soil. This edge of austerity is balanced by delicious fruit. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

Henry Fessy 2007 Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)

Price $19

Big, firm, dense wine, a classic structured Moulin-à-Vent, designed for aging. The tannins are solid, dark, the wine layered with acidity, black plum juice, dried raisins and final acidity. — R.V. (11/1/2009)

Henry Fessy 2009 Gamay (Chiroubles)

Price $19

There is an austere character to this wine, tannins edged with minerality. It has weight as well as concentration and, as compensation, sweet cherry juice to go with all this structure. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

Henry Fessy 2009 Gamay (Chénas)

Price $19

Sweet plum juice and strawberry flavors, a typical wine of the vintage. Acidity and tannins are well integrated into the ripe character of this delicious wine. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

Henry Fessy 2010 Gamay (Juliénas)

Price $19

Ripe fruit with soft acidity chracterize this wine that has great concentration, jammy flavors, strawberry jelly and a generous plum skin texture. — R.V. (10/1/2011)
