Domaine Les Gryphées (Pierre Durdilly) Cuvée Les Balmes Beaujolais Gamay 2019

$14

In local patois, a “balmes” is a slope. This steeply graded vineyard was planted nearly 100 years ago, its ancient vines producing a handful of bunches each vintage. But what a treasure in Beaujolais! Excellent terroir (a mix of limestone, clay and the classic “pierres dorees,” the mineral-rich, golden chalk that characterizes much of Beaujolais) plus very old vines places this anything-but-simple Beaujolais Rouge in cru territory. Simply a treasure in great Gamay!

Frankly, I can’t believe this is a $20 wine!!! To quote Master Sommelier, Ian Cauble: “For $20, this Gamay is no longer threatening to top of the Pinot Noirs of the Côte d’Or- it’s comfortably in the throne, serving as the humble king of value Burgundy.
