Herve Souhaut has been one of the big natural wine names doing Northern Rhone gamay for approximately the past 10 years. I don't follow the scene too closely but there may be other newer offshoots in the area (the Ardeche).

Actually, it's the 2010. I'm not a great believer in aging Gamay, though. Sure, it turns into something like Pinot, but since it's actually not Pinot, what's the point of that?

The Jadot Chateau des Jacques Moulin-a-Vent 2013-2040. The Clos de la Roilette (Coudert) Fleurie Cuvee Tardive 2016-2050.
I know top Beaujolais is not the drink now wine that it is often portrayed to be based on the basic/nouveau wines, but these are the kinds of driking windows that get Parker derided as a crackpot.

They taste like evolved integrated comfortable (i.e. deliciously aged) Beaujolais... Perhaps the stuff like Burgaud and Jadot becomes more like pinot noir, but I don't really drink much of those.
