Bachelder 'L'Insouciant' Gamay

Bachelder “L’Insouciant” Gamay - Niagara, Ontario

Thomas Bachelder has a well-earned reputation for crafting some of Canada’s most elegant, terroir-transparent wines, and L’Insouciant Gamay is one of his most joyful creations. Sourced from cool-climate Niagara vineyards and made with a light, deft touch, this is Gamay at its freshest and most carefree.

The nose is wonderfully lifted, offering red cherry, cranberry, and pomegranate alongside hints of rose petal and subtle spice. On the palate, L’Insouciant is vibrant and silky: light to medium in body, gently structured, and beautifully balanced by refreshing acidity. A touch of minerality carries the finish, making each sip feel bright and effortless.
