Gamay
Sign in to saveGamay () is a purple-colored grape variety used to make red wines, most notably grown in Beaujolais and in the Loire Valley around Tours. Its full name is Gamay Noir à Jus Blanc. It is a very old cultivar, mentioned as long ago as the 15th century. It has been often cultivated because it makes for abundant production; however, it can produce wines of distinction when planted on acidic soils, which help to soften the grape's naturally high acidity.

Gamay, eller Gamay Noir, är en blå druva vilken används i de röda vinerna från Beaujolais i södra Bourgogne, Frankrike. Den ger lätta röda viner med medel till medelhög syra och en karaktär av röda friska bär. Vinet blir vidare "syltigt" på grund av metoden maceration carbonique där de hela druvorna jäser under ett kolsyretäcke tills de spricker. Detta bevarar syran och fräschören i vinet och ger en dryck med mycket låga tanniner.
