  Gamay Noir
Gamay noir is the primary fl grape of France's Beaujolais region, where the wines are typically fermented, spared from aging, and consumed young to appreciate their fresh, fruity qualities, with more tang than tannin.
Gamay is also planted, but is less significant, in the Loire, Rhône, Jura and Savoie appellations of France.
There is relatively little gamay noir planted in California, even less than was thought to exist only a few years ago, because many vineyards, once thought to be planted to gamay noir, were positively identified by DNA "fingerprinting" as valdiguié in the 1990s.

 WAIS Document Retrieval
In the late 1960's, the University of California at Davis (UCD) determined that the grape known as Napa Gamay was the true French Gamay and that the Gamay Beaujolais vine was actually a clone of Pinot noir.
On the other hand, it has been pointed out that ``Gamay Beaujolais'' is not an accurate varietal designation, and the purpose of the varietal grape regulations is to ensure that the consumer is not misled as to the actual grape varieties used in the production of wine.
ATF believes that allowing the use of the optional designation ``Gamay Beaujolais'' in direct conjunction with the actual varietal type designation (Pinot noir or Napa Gamay), as well as an appellation of origin reflecting the true origin of the grapes, will not be confusing or misleading to consumers.

The ``Napa Gamay'' grape variety was positively identified by the FPMS as Valdiguie, although it is not widely known by this name in the United States.
While ATF still believes that the name ``Gamay Beaujolais'' has consumer recognition in the United States, we also recognize that it is not the correct name for these two grape varieties, and that the average consumer should not be expected to have technical knowledge about grape classification issues in order to understand a wine label.
