Karim Vionnet, Du Beur Dans Les Pinards (2022)

Gamay. Sustainable, Organic, Natural, Vegan.

Playful in name but serious in character, “Beurre dans les Épinards” (literally “Butter in the Spinach,” a French idiom for a welcome bonus) is a juicy, vibrant expression of Gamay from natural wine stalwart Karim Vionnet. An inviting nose of crushed strawberries, tart cherries, and wild herbs. On the palate, it’s all about freshness and drinkability—lithe and lifted, with soft tannins, mineral core, and lively notes of red fruit and violets. Unfined, unfiltered, and made with minimal sulfur—Gamay at its most joyful and immediate.
