The best gamay in the world is a red Beaujolais-Village.

David Béroujon, whose vineyard is located in the town of Salles Arbuissonnas, 45 kilometers from Lyon, was rewarded on Saturday evening for his 2020 vintage during the international Gamay competition.

In 2020, 802 wines from four countries (France, Switzerland, Italy and England) were tasted by 160 jurors who initially designated 128 “gold medals” among the vintages offered.

The “Grand Jury” then made its choice and therefore appointed that of David Béroujon, who thus succeeds Maison Mommessin and its Saint-Amour 2018.

The objective of this competition is to reinforce "the image and the notoriety of gamay among consumers"

and to discover its diversity in the world.
