While tasting the wines, I saw the intense enthusiasm that represents the Passot wines.<\/p>\n<p>Domaine Passot is located in the Beaujolais region of France. The winery owns 11 hectares (27 acres) of vineyards in several locations.<\/p>\n<p>At the APVSA &#8220;Wine at a Time&#8221; event, Domaine Passot was offering tastings of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chiroubles, Gamay 2017<\/li>\n<li>R\u00e9gni\u00e9 Gamay 2016<\/li>\n<li>Morgan Gamay 2016<\/li>\n<li>Bourgogne Gamay 2014<\/li>\n<li>Gamay ancestral methode demi-sec-Coup d\u2019Bulles Ros\u00e9<\/li>\n<li>Viognier 2016<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Bourgogne Gamay 2014 was harvested by hand and harvested from grapevines that averaged 50 years of age. The wine was a translucent reddish color. The wine offered a light earthiness with dark red fruit notes. The wine was medium-bodied with tannins and crispness. The finish was dry and the taste lingered on the palate. According to the winery website: \u201cThe Bourgogne Gamay is a new regional appellation since the 2011 vintage. The grapes that are used must be exclusively from Beaujolais crus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morgan Passot 2016 was produced with hand harvested grapes from grapevines that averaged 46 years of age. The wine was a translucent red color. The Morgan Passot offered notes of fruit including plum. This full-bodied wine was dry with tannins. The finish had bold tannins with a long finish.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>About Passot Remy et Fils<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Dominique (owner) is the daughter of winegrowers. As a young girl she said that she would never marry a winegrower.
