Wine Review: I’m usually not a fan of Village level Beaujolais. However this offering from Jadot was a pleasant surprise. This translucent dark ruby colored wine opens with a fruity cherry Kool Aid like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, lively, and shows plenty of acidity. It has cherry flavors with a touch of spice. It is easy to enjoy. The finish is dry, a little edgy, and its mild tannins linger slightly. This wine would liven up a burger or pair nicely with spaghetti and meatballs. As you can see, this is a fun and fruity entry level Beaujolais that would be a nice place to start as you start your exploration of this region and its wines.

Winemaker Notes: This brilliant garnet wine is bright and fresh, with ripe, supple crushed strawberry flavors underscored by zesty nuances of peppercorns, gentle tannins and a clean acidity, finishing on a succulent, refreshing note.
