Grape Variety: Gamay

Gamay is the grape variety responsible for the red wines of Beaujolais, which is a region south of Burgundy in France. And while the majority of Gamay wines are red — even those not from Beaujolais — there are plenty of excellent Gamay rosé wines, too … even some bubbly! Regardless of which you choose, Gamay wines tend to be fresh, relatively low in tannin, and enjoyable with a slight chill.
