Bachelder Les Villages Gamay Noir 2020
Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaThomas Bachelder, long heralded with his skilled hand at chardonnay and pinot noir, has turned his eye towards gamay, with a series of releases from the 2020 vintage. Les Villages is a blend of the 5 gamay parcels he works across Niagara, incorporating 28% whole clusters in the final blend. Fragrant wild raspberries, strawberries flood the juicy, jubilant palate, threaded with brighting green herbaceousness, and hugged with downy soft tannins. An herbal style, in nice balance, ready for chilling and enjoying now.Tasted: 05 May 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $24.95 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
