Rémi Sedes, Samplemousse 2023

Place: Loire, France

Grape: Gamay 

Vibe: Juicy

Gamay and Granite is hardly a new combination, yet rarely do we see it in the form of something pink. Shame, 'cos this is an absolute banger. I opened this for a glass and stayed for the bottle. So good I literally ran out and bought another to continue the party. Stunning structure with vivid citrus fruit ranging from lime through to grapefruit. Aromatics and acidity are both off the charts. Complexity and drink-ability combine for what is honestly a contender for my wine of the year. ABV: 13%
