Gamay

An easy-drinking wine made with high quality grapes grown in the southern part of Beaujolais. Soils are light, and allow a light, fresh expression of Gamay. The grapes are handpicked in whole bunches and cold soaking is longer than usual for Beaujolais.

This flirtatiously fruity wine is made from the Gamay grape grown in the northern part of the Beaujolais region, which is rare for a wine at this price. Most everyday-priced Beaujolais wines comes from the south. The vines grow in the traditional freestanding bush or goblet style near the villages La Chapelle de Guinchay and Romaneche-Thorins which lie just east of the Crus, Fleurie and Chenas. The soil is a free-draining mixture of decomposed granite, clay and sand. Grapes are picked by hand and vinified in the tradition of carbonic maceration which helps to extract fruit rather than tannin, producing bright, lively wines best consumed fresh and while youthful.

Pure Gamay from young vines with a bright nose of fresh strawberry and summer fruits and a lively almost tart red cherry finish.

The grapes for Fleurie are de-stemmed, then fermented and aged in burgundian oak barrels. The resulting wine offers deep aromas of black cherries, raw cocoa, pomegranate, intense violets, woodsmoke and plenty of fresh thyme. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, plush and very pure, with great depth of fruit at the core, lovely soil tones, modest tannins and simply superb length and grip on the focused and palate-staining finish.

2017 did not disappoint when it came to Pacific Northwest weather drama! It is certainly clear that our region, and the world around us, is changing due to manmade global climate change, which will invariably effect the way we farm and even what we farm in the Willamette Valley for decades to come. As with the hot years, the cold years, the dry years and the rainy years, it feels as if we’ve seen it all around here now...well most of it any- ways. After an easy 2016 growing season and vintage that pretty much rode the right along the region’s historical averages, in 2017 we returned to the more variable season wine growers in Oregon are most accustomed to. Cold streaks, rainstorms, drought, heat waves, and wild fires, oh my! While keeping us on our toes at times, especially the wild fires, we persevered right on into late September for what turned out to be a truly graceful, yet powerful vintage for Gamay Noir in the Willamette Valley. Gamay has always been a favorite grape for us and Methven Family Vineyards in the Eola-Amity Hills provided us with our first opportunity in 2011 to produce a wine from Oregon Gamay grapes. Today, nearly nine years later, it’s still our largest and most important Gamay vineyard in Oregon and we believe our long experience with Methven makes our Gamay “Cru” among our best Gamay wines. We split the grapes from Methven into three separate fermentation lots, one that was 50% destemmed (the traditional Burgundian method), one was 100% whole-cluster carbonic in a closed top stainless vat (the traditional Beaujolais method) and the last was semi-carbonic in an open top fermenter. Two of the lots were fermented with a pied de cuve build up (vineyard native yeast cultivation) and one was started by another Pinot Noir ferment. The wines were aged in neutral French oak barrels for 10 months. The 2017 Gamay “Cru” is classic Gamay and delicious. The Methven vineyard consistently demonstrates a strong terroir character of dark rock, like along the banks of a rocky stream and peppery strawberries - this year was no different. The 2017 Gamay Noirs were picked later than in previous years, and finished with low alcohol levels, giving a bright, lively, lighter colored Gamay with abundant old world charm mingling with Oregonian friendliness.

Gamey is a grape variety that is the most famous for producing the light, fruit-driven red wines of Beaujolais. While the variety offers fresh, red-fruit and candied aromas, it typically delivers little in the way of flavor concentration and body weight, giving light, simple wines.

Dark purple in color but very light in body, the nose is fruity at first but, after some air it opens up to the aroma of sourdough bread. Very nice. It's all bright clean fruit upfront with a tangy acidity and a dusty earth and hints of yest on the finish

Les Athletes du Vin is a négociant project focused on producing great value typical wines from the Loire Valley. The idea was conceived by a group of French winemakers called Vini Be Good who work together to distribute their wines in France. The wines are vinified by various members of the Vini Be Good network using their own grapes or grapes purchased from friends and neighbors in the Loire. Paris Wine Company works with two members of the Vini Be Good network: Matthieu Vallée of Château Yvonne and Christophe Ferrandis of Clos Signadore. We are proud to present these wines made by their friends and family, as several of the cuvées are made by Matthieu Vallée’s brother Gérard Vallée. The labels for Les Athletes du Vin are drawings by French artist, illustrator, and cartoonist Michel Tolmer who has been the unofficial lead artist of the French natural wine movement since the 1990s.
