Browse by Grape - Gamay
Some may call it the second grape of Burgundy, but in terms of production levels it leaves Pinot Noir way behind.
It makes a wine of bright reddish purple colour, with a zesty nose of red cherries and summer fruits that drift onto the palate. The varying styles of Beaujolais are the result of different soils, sites (or 'terroir') and climate. Gamay is sometimes served slightly chilled so that the vivid raspberry, redcurrant and cherry fruit is at the fore. Generally made to be drunk young, although there are a few big structured Beaujolais wines that are capable of ageing.

A new classification—Coteaux Bourguignons—was created in 2011 to replace two older classifications.
Essentially, “Coteaux Bourguignons” translates to the “hills of Burgundy,” and wines labelled under this designation have no restrictions attached. That means you can find red, rosé, and white wines that might be a single varietal-wine or a blend of grapes. Reds are usually made from a blend of pinot noir & gamay which go together rather well!
Coteaux Bourguignons allows fruit to be sourced from greater Burgundy & Beaujolais regions. Domaine de la Creuze Noire Coteaux Bourguignons is a blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay which gives an exceptionally smooth soft approachable wine.
