Unlike any other Gamay you may have tasted before, Verdier-Logel's vineyards are located in the Cotes du Forez. Officially it's part of the Loire Valley, but located further south, much closer to Burgundy & Beaujolais. Verdier-Logel's vineyards are situated on granite and volcanic soil hillsides. Granite gives the 'Les Gourmets' it's juicy, stony character that terrifically compliments the flavors and aromas of morello cherry, raspberry, violets, and pepper. Try this with salmon, grilled veggies, roast chicken, steak frites, BTLs, and burgers off the grill.
