Mai’s debut vintage is already making waves, and honestly, it’s hard to imagine her putting out anything less than stellar. This is Gamay from the granite soils of Southern Beaujolais, and it’s as vibrant as it gets. In the glass, pale ruby. The nose is a fruit parade - wild strawberries, tart raspberries, blackcurrant, and just enough stemmy edge to keep things interesting. Pure energy on the palate. Light, zippy, and driven by a bright acidity. Moderate alcohol keeps it balanced, while the finish just keeps going - juicy, fresh, and begging for another pour.

This is a medium bodied natural red wine.

About La Mai Wines

Mai Lam, a French-Vietnamese winemaker, spent her early adult years working in Singapore. She found solace in the city’s dynamic food and wine scene, where late-night conversations over natural wines sparked a curiosity that slowly grew into obsession. She packed her bags, traded in the skyscrapers for scenic vineyards, moving to Beaujolais - a place she had long admired for its raw, coarse energy. In Beaujolais, Mai met Sébastien Morin and the two instantly clicked. Sébastien became both her mentor and partner, and together they began crafting wines that championed low intervention, long macerations, and slow presses. Mai’s fierce determination and sharp intuition brought her to her first bottling in 2024, an unapologetic reflection of her character: bold, complex, and deeply kind-hearted.
