Gamay Beaujolais
Red wine grape · reported 2000–2013
Gamay Beaujolais is a name California used for a grape that UC Davis Foundation Plant Services and TTB both file as Gamay noir. CDFA printed it as its own line for fourteen crop years, 2000 through 2013, and it was always small: 197 tons crushed in total across five districts, and 98 bearing acres in its last acreage year of 2008. The line then stops. Growers historically applied the name loosely, and California plantings sold under it were not always the same grape, which is part of why the reporting name fell out of use.

Counts describe what this atlas holds for Gamay Beaujolais, not what California grows. A zero is a published answer: it means the source names the grape and reports nothing under it, or does not name it at all.
