Beaujolais - Half Dozen
These superb Beaujolais wines are simply perfect for everybody! Names that you know, wines you should drink. Stylistically, they fit into today’s lifestyle: lighter in alcohol and texture, juicy and fruity in spirit, yet sophisticated and capable of lasting quite a few years. The mix of granite hills and some softer limestone valleys brings a vibrancy and life to the Gamay grape, first (and neglected) cousin to Pinot Noir. Enthusiastic and talented winemakers are creating signature wines that reflect their sense of place, so important in standing out from the crowd of rather bland, everyday wines that can saturate the UK market. These are red wines with a bit of whizz, no mass-produced ‘Nouveau-plus’ versions, but carefully-honed reds reflecting their village. Mathieu Mélinand's wonderfully silky Fleurie (Domaine des Marrans) is on top form, the Morgon Côte de Py from Laurent Guillet as textured and complete as ever and Pauline Passot’s Chiroubles, is charming and supple, a delightful new find. We could have taken more from Sylvain Tête, such was the quality of the reds he showed us on a recent visit. Perhaps we will, if you support us by buying more of these delightful wines for the sunny summer days ahead!
