Really enjoyed the 2023. Should I buy a case of 2022 or 2023?
Gamay is meant to be enjoyed young. Do you think the 2022 would differ much? If so how?

This wine is intended to be widely drinkable and affordable glou-glou, buy the newest release and drink the case within the year so you have room to re-stock with the next release

I love that bottle ! But drink it young and buy the latest available vintage !

Both are relatively ripe vintages, but that wine tends to be in a very fresh style. It might depend on how fast you intend to drink it. For what it is worth though, I bought a case or two of the ’12 closed out for about $10 a bottle and drank through 2017 without noticing much decline over that time. 2012 was a more classic vintage though, not sure if the riper vintages will hold up better, worse, or similarly.

22 was a fine vintage, and while designed to be consumed quickly it does have staying power for a couple of years. I would recommend you get a case of both and enjoy it through the year.

If it came from M. Lapierre, it’s gonna be good.

I’d buy a case based on the label alone
