Côte du Py Morgon Gamay 2022

Popped and poured from magnum; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2022 pours a deep ruby/purple with a transparent core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart red and dark fruits: Bing cherry, pomegranate, licorice, dried green herbs and rocky minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. A young Côte du Py, especially in this format. Drink now with patience and through 2042. — 17 days ago

Domaine Chamonard

Le Clos de Lys Morgon Gamay 2009

Lovely aged Morgon, redfruits and solid weight still (I’d guess because of the warmer 2009 vintage), nice balance, medrum-long finish, quite good (but time to drink up, IMHO). — 11 days ago

Cerdon Bugey Sparkling Rosé Poulsard Gamay 2023

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2023 pours a red-salmon color with a moderate mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of mostly ripe fruit, similar to confected strawberry and raspberry soda pop. On the palate, the wine is off-dry with medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium and has some nice minerals too. This is a ridiculously easy quaffer. Drink now. — 3 days ago

Bugey is the perfect summer wine region, I've had this bottle, but my palate leans towards the Patrick Bottex version, it seems to have more life. Either way, it's a win.

El Dorado Gamay Noir 2019

Still on A-R Old-Gamay Gate. Similar weight to the 20, but more mid-palate fruit and less bitter. Menopausal. — 11 days ago
