Qui Sait, 2023

A white wine made from Gamay, the Beaujolais grape. It is pressed straight off the dark skins, so it pours gold, zippy and a little smoky.

Gamay usually makes light reds. Here Henri Chauvet presses it straight away so the juice never takes colour from the skins, and the result is a golden white. It has bright, sherbet-sharp acidity, a thread of smoke and citrus, and a mineral finish that comes from the iron-rich red clay of his vineyard in Boudes, in the hills of Auvergne in central France.
