Pairing
Gamay and Gamay St. Romain are grapes that love food cooked over an open flame - the great balance of fruit and acidity in this wine make it an ideal partner for a grilled hamburger, or a slow-smoked pork shoulder. A roasted or grilled whole chicken with a thick and flavorful crust around the skin will be wonderful too, not to mention a simple plate of grilled wild mushrooms topped with olive oil, and paired with goat cheese.
Tasting Notes
The difference between Gamay and Gamay St. Romain is subtle, but there's no doubt that they are different. Tending a bit more towards herbaceousness, earhthiness, and even gaminess, if Gamay is Pinot Noir's wilder cousin, Gamay St. Romain is the older brother who lives in a cabin in the woods. This example in particular has some lovely dried and ripe fruit elements, and a muscular structure with ample tannin, and great acidity. It's a wine that typifies balance, and even moreso, tension, and will pair with a variety of situations and dishes.
