Jean-François Malsert may not be a household name, but for lovers of natural, old-vine Gamay, his wines are a revelation. Working with organically farmed, high-altitude vineyards in the Rhône’s forgotten corners, Malsert takes a hands-off approach—native fermentations, no fining or filtration, and minimal sulfur. The result is a wine that feels alive, capturing Gamay’s playful side while retaining serious depth.

Bright red cherry and wild strawberry burst from the glass, balanced by notes of dried violets, crushed rock, and a whisper of spice. Light on its feet but not lacking in structure, the wine’s fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins give it just enough grip. Compared to more polished Beaujolais, this leans into the wilder, more untamed side of Gamay—rustic in the best possible way.

Best served with a slight chill, this is the kind of bottle that vanishes quickly alongside roast chicken, grilled sausages, or a simple spread of charcuterie and cheese. Drink now for its sheer energy, or hold onto it for a year or two to let the layers unfold.
