DERNIERE GOUTTE French Ton Gamay

DERNIERE Goutte "Frenche Ton Gamay" is a lively, natural red wine crafted by winemaker Cyrille Vuillod under his La Dernière Goutte label in Beaujolais, France. Made from 100% Gamay sourced from organic vines grown on pink granitic sand, flint, and clay soils near Brouilly, this wine embodies the region’s signature fruit-forward exuberance. The grapes undergo a semi-carbonic maceration—typically around 8 to 20 days depending on the vintage—followed by fermentation with native yeasts and a short élevage, often in concrete or enamel vats, though vinification details can shift year to year. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with no added sulfites, it retains a raw, authentic character. Expect a bright ruby pour with juicy aromas of cherry, raspberry, and violets, accented by a silky texture and a subtle electric zing on the palate. At around 12-13% ABV, this playful, "primeur" style Gamay—whose name cheekily nods to "French your Gamay"—is best enjoyed slightly chilled, pairing beautifully with charcuterie, pizza, or a sunny afternoon. Cyrille’s minimalist approach and renegade spirit shine through in this fresh, glou-glou delight.
