Region: Vin de France (grapes from Morgon / Jura vinification), France
Grapes: Gamay
Body: Light-Medium
Notes: Fresh, juicy, and alive. Bright red cherry, raspberry, crushed flowers. A Jura legend's take on Beaujolais Gamay — expect purity, vibrancy, and a mineral edge you don't get from your usual cru. Drink it cool.
Pairing: Charcuterie, roast chicken, pizza, grilled salmon, salty snacks.
Additional Info: This is a collaboration between two of France's most respected natural wine figures: Philippe Bornard, the legendary vigneron of Arbois-Pupillin in the Jura, and Albert Ponnelle, a respected Burgundy négociant. The Gamay grapes are sourced from Morgon in Beaujolais and vinified using Bornard's low-intervention philosophy. Bornard is one of the Jura's most celebrated producers, known for his Ploussard, Trousseau, Savagnin, and Chardonnay from the village of Pupillin. His wines are fixtures on the wine lists of Paris's best natural wine bars (Les Résistants, etc.) and top restaurants globally. This Gamay Noir is labeled Vin de France as the grapes come from outside the Jura AOC. A fun, serious-quality weeknight wine from a hallowed pedigree.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
