The top three Gamays in the All Gamay tasting gave the Coudert (about $20) and two non Beaujolais (Cousin Anjou and the Souteronne from Herve Souhaut) as the top winners. But another wine that slipped into top honors, is a lovely bargain--the 2002 Rgni from ANDRE RAMPON (about $15).
In a blind tasting the powerful wines stand out as the 'best' and something this pretty can be overlooked. But this is a very sophisticated little wine with pure, delicate rose aroma and a mix of great minerality and a touch of animal power.
