The 2023 Château de La Chaize Bourgogne Gamay Noir is a fresh and expressive take on Gamay, crafted in a Burgundian style that highlights purity, vibrancy and drinkability. Sourced from Beaujolais vineyards and made with a focus on minimal intervention, it reflects the estate’s modern approach to producing elegant, terroir-driven wines.
The nose is bright and aromatic, showing red cherry, cranberry and wild strawberry, layered with floral hints of rose and violet, alongside subtle spice and fresh herbs. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a supple, juicy texture and lively acidity. Flavours of red berries and gentle earthy notes are supported by fine tannins, leading to a clean, fresh and elegant finish with a touch of minerality.
The style is vibrant and approachable, showcasing Gamay’s signature freshness and fruit-forward character, making it ideal for early drinking.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic everyday red for customers who enjoy light, fresh and easy-drinking wines like Beaujolais or Pinot Noir. This is not a heavy wine - it’s all about brightness, purity and drinkability. Best served slightly chilled. Drink now or over the next 2–3 years. Perfect with charcuterie, roast chicken or casual meals.
