Coq Léon 2023
Vin de France, FranceCoq Léon is a Dominique Piron wine designed for fun and drinking. The 95/5 mix is gamay from Beaujolais and Beaujolais Villages combined with gamaret, a little-known variety created in the 1990s by crossing gamay with reichensteiner. The grape was never authorized for use in Beaujolais, so it is sold as Vin de France, but do not let that deter you. It is a juicy, fresh, fruity, soft, delicious summer red that you can serve at cellar temperature or with a slight chill from the refrigerator. Slightly richer and darker than classic Beaujolais, it is further refreshed by a concrete fermentation. The winery suggests you consider serving it with seasonal vegetables, pissaladière, goat cheese, or even tiramisu with raspberries. Oh, and the price is a giveaway.Tasted: 07 July 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $19.99 | 750ml | select private retailers and restaurants |
