Jolie-Laide Wines Gamay Noir, Sonoma County, USA

Jolie-Laide’s 2024 Gamay Noir is a love letter to Sonoma County’s diverse terroir and a testament to Scott and Jenny Schultz’s dedication to showcasing varietal purity. Sourced from two high-elevation, meticulously farmed sites—Las Cimas Vineyard on Sonoma’s northern edge and a second, iron-rich plot in the Fountaingrove AVA—this Gamay is a study in balance and precision. Cool coastal breezes, volcanic soils, and Franciscan bedrock combine to give the fruit both aromatic lift and structural depth. Whole cluster carbonic maceration, foot crushing, and native yeast fermentation keep the wine lively and expressive. Aged six months in neutral barrique, it’s a pure, mineral-driven Gamay that’s light, fresh, and utterly charming.
