1996 Touraine Gamay, Clos Roche Blanche
Continuing the Gamay theme in this week of the launch of the 2010 Beaujolais Nouveau, the 1996 Touraine Gamay from Clos Roche Blanche – still delightfully fruity (but no bananas) and youthful – now à point, although it should continue to drink well for a number of years. This 1996 Gamay has long been excellent and a clear example that well made Gamay de Touraine can age well.
