What pairs with organic Beaujolais-Villages?
A Beaujolais-Villages organic Gamay from 40-year-old vines is a wine with character, concentration, and a beautiful expression of fruit. The age of the vines brings depth and complexity, which sets it apart from younger, lighter Beaujolais-Villages wines.
This type of wine pairs wonderfully with dishes that highlight its finesse and fruitiness without overpowering it. Here are some pairing suggestions:
Classic French Pairings
- Charcuterie and Lyonnaise salads: This is a classic and perfect match. The richness of the charcuterie (like Lyon sausage, terrines, etc.) is balanced by the wine’s liveliness and fruity aromas.
- White meats: A roasted chicken, grilled veal, or pork tenderloin will go very well with this wine. Their delicate flavors don’t mask the aromatic profile of the Gamay.
- Light stews: Dishes like “petit salé aux lentilles” (salted pork with lentils), “blanquette de veau” (veal stew), or coq au vin can be excellent pairings.
More Adventurous Pairings
- Goat cheeses: The acidity and character of goat cheese (fresh or aged) pair very well with the red fruit notes of the Gamay. A Crottin de Chavignol or a Saint-Félicien would be great companions.
- Grilled meats: A good Gamay from old vines will perfectly accompany grilled pork or beef. Its light tannins won’t be aggressive with the grilled meat.
- Mediterranean cuisine: Lasagna bolognese, a pizza with vegetables and cured meats, or dishes based on tomatoes and Provençal herbs can all be enhanced by the freshness of this wine.
Key Points to Remember
- Organic certification: This guarantees the wine was produced with respect for the environment, which can influence the aromatic profile with a greater purity of fruit.
- 40-year-old vines: These vines produce less fruit, but of higher quality, which results in a more concentrated and complex wine.
- Serving temperature: To fully enjoy its fruit aromas, it is best served slightly chilled, between 14 and 16°C (57-61°F).
