Yves Duport 'Le Marginal' Gamay, Bugey, France 2025
From a family domaine in southern Bugey, organic since 2007 and farmed biodynamically, a pure, mountain-fresh Gamay grown on limestone scree above the Rhône.
Tasting Notes
"Crunchy red-fruited Gamay with a cool, mountain-fresh edge. Light on its feet, with soft tannins and bright, alpine acidity, and very happy with a slight chill. Charcuterie, roast chicken, or a cheesy tartiflette" — Harvest Wine Shop
