Garnier, Jean-Christophe 2023 Gamay-Aunis
As the name suggest, this is a blend of Gamay and Pineau d’Aunis with a very short maceration, and very light press. Aged in tanks, with no additions of SO2. What a bright and juicy wine! We want to drink...

We don't remember this cuvée from the early days when Garnier's wines were in New York, but it's clearly a top wine for him, not just because it's the most expensive. The structure here and dry extract create a scintillating...
