Bjornson — Gamay Noir 2024
Light-bodied, bright, and delightfully approachable, the 2024 Gamay Noir from Bjornson captures Gamay’s classic fruit-forward charm with a lively contemporary twist. Sourced from cool-climate sites, this vintage shows lifted aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and a hint of wild strawberry, framed by fresh violets and a touch of crushed herbs.
On the palate it’s juicy and vibrant: tart red fruit leads, followed by gentle baking spice and subtle earthy undertones.
Food Pairing:
Charcuterie & cheese: sheeps’ milk cheeses (Manchego, Ossau-Iraty), young goat cheeses, and a prosciutto-forward charcuterie box.
Sandwiches: roasted turkey with cranberry or a fresh caprese on crusty bread.
Mains: mushroom risotto, grilled salmon, coq au vin-style preparations with lighter sauces.
Snacks: fresh berries, marinated olives, or a mixed nuts assortment.
Serve: slightly chilled (55–60°F).
Tasting highlights
Varietal: Gamay
Style: Light-bodied, fruit-forward, fresh acidity
Aromas: Red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, violet, crushed herbs
Palate: Juicy red fruit, gentle spice, soft tannins, clean finish
