{"product_id":"fluette-gamay-2024","title":"Fluette Gamay 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eCalling all Beaujolais fans: This one’s just for you. Made with extra concentrated fruit grown in southwestern France, \u003cb\u003eFluette Gamay\u003c\/b\u003e has similarly fresh and juicy red berry flavors, but with more punch, less tannin and an extra smooth mouthfeel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGamay isn’t local to the Côtes du Tarn—the specific area from which the wine hails—but savvy winemakers started cultivating it there in 1970, hoping to soften the beefier regional blends made from tannic native grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd it's made itself feel right at home—as you'll notice in this new release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e It’s crafted by the exceptionally talented Jean-Noël Barrau, who sources grapes from terraced vineyards perched high above the River Tarn. Here, a stone’s throw from Toulouse and Albi, the soils are a combination of sand and gravel, an ideal match for Gamay.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eWell-draining sandy soils cause vines to dig deeper for water, intensifying the resulting grapes’ flavors and aromas, but keeping alcohol lower. Heat-retaining gravel, meanwhile, encourages ripening, provides structure and creates a nice plush body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe resulting wine is loaded with raspberry, red cherry, plum and blackberry hemmed in by easygoing tannins. We recommend serving it with a slight chill (and maybe alongside some roast chicken or a cheese board) for ultimate enjoyment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is one to stock up on and pour generously. Order a bottle (or two, or three) today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Lionstone International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53593393135925,"sku":"4155324","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.lionstone.com\/products\/fluette-gamay-2024","provider":"Lionstone International","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
