Gamay, primarily from the Beaujolais region, is a vibrant red grape known for producing light-bodied wines with abundant fruitiness. Characterized by flavors of cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, these wines often exhibit floral notes and a fresh, juicy acidity. The most celebrated style is Beaujolais Nouveau, a playful, easy-drinking wine released shortly after harvest. Other noteworthy expressions include Beaujolais Villages and superior crus like Morgon and Fleurie, showcasing depth and complexity.
