Olivier Cousin Yamag 2023 750ml

Forever a rebel against the French classification system, Olivier named this cuvée “Yamag” — scrambling the letters of Gamay — after a new law passed banning winemakers from naming the grape on the label of table wines. Clever as ever, it’s Olivier’s way of suggesting the grape without breaking the law. 

Varieties: 100% Gamay

Age of Vines: old vines planted in 1966

Vinification Method: The grapes are hand-harvested, brought to the winery by a horse, and undergo carbonic maceration to create a light, fresh, and zippy example of an endlessly drinkable Beaujolais. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, zero SO2 added.
