Bright appearance, medium-bodied red with tobacco, oak and black pepper flavours. The finish is subtle-layered. An overall good gamay from france.

Notes
It's light, but has nice depth. A strong step above table wine, but a commercial offering nonetheless. Developed complexity after open for an hour. Littel in the nose, but pays off in mouth and finish.
