The 2024 Théo Dancer Vin de France Botanica Gamay Magnum (1500ml) is a beautifully expressive Gamay sourced from organically grown vineyards in Chiroubles, Beaujolais, and crafted under Théo Dancer's acclaimed micro-négociant project. Fermented using a traditional, non-carbonic approach and matured in amphora and seasoned oak casks, the wine highlights the purity of the vineyard with fragrant aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry and raspberry, complemented by rose petals, subtle spice and a delicate mineral lift. The magnum format allows the wine to mature slowly, making it ideal for both immediate enjoyment and cellaring.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with silky tannins, bright natural acidity and a refined, seamless texture. Vibrant flavours of red berries and cherries are joined by gentle floral notes, fine spice and a touch of savoury minerality, leading to a long, fresh finish. The restrained winemaking preserves the elegance and precision of the Gamay while allowing the character of Chiroubles to shine through.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this magnum is an excellent choice for lovers of elegant, terroir-driven Gamay with purity and finesse. It pairs beautifully with roast chicken, duck, grilled pork, charcuterie or mushroom dishes. Enjoy now with a light chill, or cellar for the next 8–10 years, with the magnum format allowing the wine to develop even greater complexity over time.
