What it pairs with
-
Charcuterie spread with mustard
Natural Villages Gamay is the quintessential bistro board companion. -
Fried chicken with pickled vegetables
Acid-driven, low-tannin Gamay suits crispy fried chicken unusually well. -
Lentil and ham hock soup
The wine's fruit and light body pair with hearty winter soups.
History
