Winery review: This Jadot is a combo of long-term contract vineyards and its Régnié Cru, demonstrating that knowing the terroir makes a difference. The blend shows well in this rich, full wine. It reveals ripeness—round and full of strawberry flavors from the 100% Gamay, with a tight layer of mineral acidity at the end. — R.V. Published 12/1/2015
My review: Very fruity, medium to full body with long lasting taste. Strawberries and cherries with acidic after taste. I did not pair this wine with food, however, I can imagine this pairing well with cheeses. Overall, I am happy with my first experience with Gamay, although I don't know that I will try another. The acidic after taste did not excite my taste buds, I felt it was a little too overpowering. I bought this bottle as a splitz, and I'm hoping to utilize the bottle after this wine in gone.
