organic Beaujolais-Villages?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This type of wine pairs wonderfully with dishes that highlight its finesse and fruitiness without overpowering it. Here are some pairing suggestions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Classic French Pairings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Charcuterie and Lyonnaise salads:<\/strong>&nbsp;This is a classic and perfect match. The richness of the charcuterie (like Lyon sausage, terrines, etc.) is balanced by the wine&rsquo;s liveliness and fruity aromas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>White meats:<\/strong>&nbsp;A roasted chicken, grilled veal, or pork tenderloin will go very well with this wine. Their delicate flavors don&rsquo;t mask the aromatic profile of the Gamay.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Light stews:<\/strong>&nbsp;Dishes like \u00ab\u00a0petit sal\u00e9 aux lentilles\u00a0\u00bb (salted pork with lentils), \u00ab\u00a0blanquette de veau\u00a0\u00bb (veal stew), or coq au vin can be excellent pairings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Adventurous Pairings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Goat cheeses:<\/strong>&nbsp;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-F\u00e9licien would be great companions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Grilled meats:<\/strong>&nbsp;A good Gamay from old vines will perfectly accompany grilled pork or beef. Its light tannins won&rsquo;t be aggressive with the grilled meat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mediterranean cuisine:<\/strong>&nbsp;Lasagna bolognese, a pizza with vegetables and cured meats, or dishes based on tomatoes and Proven\u00e7al herbs can all be enhanced by the freshness of this wine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Points to Remember<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Organic certification:<\/strong>&nbsp;This guarantees the wine was produced with respect for the environment, which can influence the aromatic profile with a greater purity of fruit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>40-year-old vines:<\/strong>&nbsp;These vines produce less fruit, but of higher quality, which results in a more concentrated and complex wine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Serving temperature:<\/strong>&nbsp;To fully enjoy its fruit aromas, it is best served slightly chilled, between&nbsp;<strong>14 and 16\u00b0C (57-61\u00b0F)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/saintennemond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DSC_4055-1-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saintennemond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DSC_4055-1-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/saintennemond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DSC_4055-1-scaled-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/saintennemond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DSC_4055-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/saintennemond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DSC_4055-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/saintennemond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DSC_4055-1-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/saintennemond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DSC_4055-1-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/saintennemond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DSC_4055-1-1568x1045.jpeg 1568w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The reward of 5 years of commitment: the first organic vintage After five years of patient transition, I am proud to present the culmination of my journey.
