Gamay's susceptibility to disease made it economically unreliable
B
Gamay produced naturally thin, unpalatable wines on Burgundy's limestone
C
Gamay's high yields and easy ripening threatened the premium pricing of Pinot Noir
D
Gamay was genetically inferior to Pinot Noir, as contemporary science confirmed
