Vagabond Gamay 2020

£19.95

VDF Vagabond is a true Beaujolais gem from istrionic yet unassuming natural wine rising start Benoit Camus. It’s 100% Gamay from elder vines of 40-60 years of age, organically farmed on mostly limestone soils with some clay, marl, and granite. Whole bunch, spontaneous fermentation takes place in concrete with no additives nor added SO2. Bright fruit and luminous focus vibrate with notes of fresh cherries, red currants, and a slightly herbal touch.

Producer Profile

Benoit Camus

Benoit Camus is a true mystery man of Beaujolais, a sincere artist and real farmer, a maverick, and a soft-spoken genius with a fiery creative streak. Legend has it he lives in a caravan in the middle of his 4 hectares of old vine Gamay and Chardonnay in Southern Beaujolais’ Ville-sur-Jarnioux, on soils made up of limestone, clay, marl, and granite. Having made wine since 2006, until recently he sold all of this wine to friends’ negociant labels. Now he bottles and labels his own natural wines, which are truly unique for purity, vibrancy, and depth of character.
