First off, this négociant project is focused on producing natural wines from the Loire Valley at accessible prices. Gotta love that. Secondly, the group of French winemakers who made this happen, referring to themselves as Vini Be Good, are some of the finest growers in the region. A collective openness to share knowledge and experience has undoubtedly amplified the quality of the wines. Thirdly, the labels are created by Michel Tolmer; the lead French artist of the Natural wine movement since the 1990’s.
Jovial and easy-drinking, isn’t this what we’re all looking for in a bottle of Gamay? Pale ruby red in the glass, on the nose harmonious aromas of bing cherry, cranberry and red currant are well balanced by aromas of lilac and violet. A whisper of wet earth loiters in the background. The palate is light bodied and succulent. Tart red fruit flavors are carried by fine grained tannins and arresting acidity. Especially when served with a slight chill, this wine has a decidedly refreshing finish.
