Babass "Au Bon Secours" Gamay 2024

Babass "Au Bon Secours" Gamay 2024Gamay vines planted in the 1950s, fermented and aged in cement and fiberglass tank with zero sulfur or any additions. Light and bright with notes of pluot, blueberry, basil, vetiver, and lavender. Tangy and alive with a deliciously unique profile, it's natty wine but without any signs of microbial takeover even after being open four hours. Chill it down a bit and share it if you're feeling generous. Jonathan Kemp

almost gritty feel

tension and a little austerity
