Dom. Mucyn 2016 'GamSy', Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes
Renamed to better convey its constituent parts, it is hard to conceive of a more sheerly joyous and brilliant
wine in this lighter vein. Masterfully combining the complementary virtues of perfumed syrah and snappy
gamay, it slides down the throat with the ease of a serpent and then tempts you to commit non-stop sin.

Notes from the Producer: Easy-to-drink and refreshing, Gamsy proudly displays its dense, crimson-flecked hue. Its intense nose offers up notes of tangy red fruit such as blackcurrants and redcurrants. It shows nice length on the palate with soft tannins and a lovely spicy finish. Best served between 14-16°C and enjoyed when young with a platter of charcuterie or light cheeses. It is also great for a barbecue.
