New York Times
"Here’s a different spin on a year-end sparkler, a lightly sweet rosé pétillant naturel that is balanced, playful and refreshing. Jean-Paul Brun, an excellent Beaujolais producer, makes this wine entirely with gamay. It’s low in alcohol and tastes like red berries and apples. Serve with fruit or dessert, or, really, any time. By the way, the name F.R.V. 100? Give each letter and the number 100 their French pronunciations — eff, ehr, vay, cent — and it comes out like “effervescent.”

Vinous Reverie Notes
100% Gamay. The name "FRV100" is a play on the word “effervescent”--which becomes more apparent when you sound out the letters and number in French--and is indicative of the playfulness of this off-dry, sparkling rosé. From organically farmed estate Gamay on limestone clay soils in the southern Beaujolais around jean-Paul's home village of Charnay, it is made by the méthode ancestrale: the hand-harvested fruit is destemmed and fermented in vat until it reaches around 6% alcohol. It is then lightly filtered and bottled and finishes fermenting with indigenous yeasts in the bottle. The result is a light-bodied, gently sparkling, gently sweet, low-ABV vin de soif, reminiscent of a Cerdon de Bugey. The vintage never appears on the label (there is no allowance for sparkling Gamay in Beaujolais) but it is always a single-vintage wine.
