Beaujolais is an area whose light, fruity wines have always been amongst Richard Tanner’s favourites. Our collection of growers in the different crus are still on song but we have a new supplier in Moulin-à-Vent, Jacky Janodet. He, like all our growers, was selected individually on the basis of his commitment to quality rather than on the convenience of having all the wines in one warehouse, a proposition which many of our competitors find a little too tempting.
2003 was a hot year producing brilliant, full-flavoured wines. 2001 and 2002 have produced lovely, fruity, charming wines 1999 was a good vintage in Beaujolais with relatively full and generous wine.
