GIWC Top 20 | La Belle Angele Rosé Gamay 2020

La Belle Angele is the producer of two GIWC top 20 award-winning wines. From France, the label boasts the La Belle Angele Rosé 2020 and the La Belle Angele Gamay 2020

La Belle Angele wines are the embodiment of Angéle - the free spirit of the roaring twenties. She is carefree, mischievous, elegant and charismatic. The wines reflect her personality - expressive, fruity and luscious. The Rosé and Gamay are part of Angéle’s seven wine range, where there is a drink for every occasion. 

La Belle Angele hopes to embody dancing the Charleston in short skirts, smoking like chimneys and fighting for women's rights. It hopes to have wine drinkers experience the golden age in the present - through a single glass. 

The most unique aspect of the Gamay is the great acidic structure and refreshing, tangy, luscious character. As a less common grape variety, it lends itself to being enjoyed as a chilled red. 

The wine is a fruity bouquet with scents of red cherry, cranberry, bubblegum, red plum and rose. It is both simple and bright on the palate. 

It is best paired with a platter of charcuterie, goat cheese, sheep cheese or roast poultry. 

La Belle’s Gamay is designed to be drunk while young, fresh and fruity. It is for someone who loves Pinot Noir and is ready to try something new.
