2021 Mâcon Milly-Lamartine Selection Rouge, 100% Gamay, Domaine La Pascerette des Vignes
From: Mâcon, Burgundy, FranceVarietal: Gamay Taste: The concentration of this wine, made from old millerande vines, allowed it to be put into barrels where it softened; it took on very light barrel aromas. The color and aromas are surprising for a Gamay—a gorgeously indulgent wine with aromas and flavors of raspberry, bing cherry, and strawberry coulis. Baking spice and black pepper notes provide accent, balance, and a savory tone to the wine. Bring on the snacks!“A very intense garnet color, Mâcon-Milly-Lamartine wines produced from the Gamay grape offer indulgent flavors of red and black berries, like crushed strawberry, cherry, and blueberry, combined with floral peony aromas. Velvety in the mouth thanks to some very smooth tannins, the finish is crisp with a touch of spice.” —Vins de BourgognePairing: When pairing this lovely red, think of everything you’d pair with Beaujolais or a high-quality, regional Bourgogne Rouge, and go from there.
