Andre & Michel Quenard Gamay ‘La Voie Sarde’ 2024 from Chignin in the Savoie is a bright, alpine Gamay that drinks like a mountain‑fresh spin on Beaujolais – fragrant, juicy and threaded with a lovely stony lift. This 2024 La Voie Sarde Gamay is designed to be enjoyed young and a touch cool, showing off its crunchy fruit and refreshing acidity.

In the glass you’re looking at a brilliant ruby to deep red colour, with lively aromas of red cherries, fresh raspberries and strawberries, backed by floral notes and a delicate mineral undertone. The palate is all juicy red fruit, crisp acidity and subtle minerality, with succulent mixed red and black fruits and a fresh, vibrant finish that stays light on its feet. With time in bottle it can pick up a touch of gamey, animal complexity, but the style’s sweet spot is those first few years.

Food‑wise, Andre & Michel Quenard Gamay La Voie Sarde 2024 is spot on with charcuterie, Savoie cheeses, roast chicken, grilled white meats, salads and picnic fare, especially served around 13 °C. It’s also a cracking match for pizza, lighter pastas and even a bit of barbecue, giving you a super‑versatile, chillable French red that’s perfect for long lunches and relaxed evenings.
