"Gamay was once excluded from the world of fine wines as an unfashionable, seasonal, bulk wine. Its comeback recalls that of John Travolta in Pulp Fiction: dryer, with more character, but still easy to fall in love with. Julien Sunier's 2012 Morgon offers brilliant value for money. Fresh red fruit notes, violets, dry and crisp, but not sharp on the palate and light like a dancer, with some flinty minerality. We serve it to accompany our roasted rabbit loin with Bayonne ham, salted baked turnips, toasted hazelnuts and pickled mustard seed."
