Fluette Gamay 2024
Côtes du Tarn IGP
Loading...
If you love the velvety, berry fruit flavours of good Beaujolais, Fluette should be on your must-try list. It's made from the same grape, Gamay, but it's from a little further south in Gaillac, so packs a little extra ripeness.

The Story Behind the Bottle
Gamay isn't local to southwest France, but was introduced there in 1970 to soften some of the beefier, tannic native grapes. And it's made itself feel right at home, as you'll notice with our lovely new-release Fluette. It's made by the exceptionally talented Jean-Noël Barrau at a multi-award-winning cellar in Gaillac. The Gamay vineyards lie on terraces perched above the River Tarn, not far from Toulouse and Albi. The sandy gravel soil there lends the wine a lovely freshness to balance the silky ripeness of the fruit. So delicious and easy is it, that on hot summer days you could cool it down a little. The perfect red to chat with, on its own. But equally, it'll slip down well with chicken, creamy brie-like cheeses or with noodle stir-fry.
