| | Gamay Noir |
 | | Gamay noir is the primary black grape of France's Beaujolais region, where the wines are typically fermented, spared from aging, and consumed young to appreciate their fresh, fruity qualities, with more tang than tannin. | | | Both red wines and rosés are typically produced from unblended gamay noir. | | | Frequently tart in their youth, wines made from gamay noir tend nonetheless to be short lived. |

| | Gamay Beaujolais Final Rule Text |
| | The ``Gamay noir a jus blanc'' (otherwise known as the ``Gamay'') is the predominant grape variety used in the production of Beaujolais wine. | | | In the late 1960's, researchers at UCD decided that the grape known as ``Napa Gamay'' was the true Gamay grape, and that the ``Gamay Beaujolais'' vine was actually a clone of Pinot noir. | | | Gamay Beaujolais is a clone of Pinot Noir, and Napa Gamay is an as yet unidentified variety, which is neither Gamay nor Pinot noir. |

| | The grape required by the French AC to be grown in the Beaujolais region is the Gamay Noir variety. | | | Until that time, the name may be used, but only if the wine is made from at least 75% Pinot Noir and/or Valdiguié grapes and a statement to this effect must also be printed on either the front or back label. | | | Gamay doesn't age well, altough a few 'cru Beaujolais' can be enjoyed right up to their tenth year of life. |

| | Growing Gamay noir since 1985, we have learned a lot about the grape over the years. | | | In Burgundy they do one too, called passetoutgrains, blended close to our normal 80% Gamay noir and 20% Pinot noir, for drinking while waiting for their highly structured Pinots to develop. | | | Both varietals exhibit a palate of cherry flavors and aromas. |

| | Another grape, the Napa Gamay, which is also not truly from Beaujolais, took on the standing of the true Beaujolais grape when that which we call Gamay Beaujolais turned out to be Pinot Noir. | | | Until the 1970s, the red vinifera grape variety traditionally identified as Gamay Beaujolais was thought by California vineyardists to be the true grape of France's Beaujolais region. | | | The wines now made from Napa Gamay may also be called Gamay Beaujolais even though it, like the Gamay Beaujolais, is not from Beaujolais. |
