Château des Charmes Gamay Noir Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 90/100

A lively, fruit-driven red that shines with aromas of fresh cherry, raspberry, and cranberry, accented by a hint of black pepper and a touch of earth. It’s light to medium-bodied, dry, and smooth on the palate, with bright acidity, soft tannins, and 12.5% alcohol making it an easy, refreshing pour. Serve it slightly chilled to bring out its juicy red fruit and playful spice. Fascinating fact: Château des Charmes was founded by Paul Bosc, a fifth-generation French winemaker who brought the noble Gamay Noir grape to Niagara, proving that Canada could craft Beaujolais-style reds with elegance and charm. This wine is best enjoyed young within 2–3 years to capture its vibrant freshness. You can order this wine directly from the winery at www.chateaudescharmes.com.

Gamay Noir food pairings: grilled sausages topped with caramelized onions, where the wine’s acidity cuts through the richness while its fruit mirrors the sweetness.
