Description
In a nutshell:
A Beaujolais Cru that's reminscent of a summer garden in a glass - vibrant red berry flavours, a whisper of rose petals, and a delightfully refreshing finish.
The lowdown:
A swirl of the glass, and the scent rises like a summer breeze - violets, wild strawberries, the softest hint of damp earth. It paints a picture in the mind's eye. A sip, and it's light as a whisper on the tongue. Bright berry flavours dance a moment, then settle into a pleasing roundness. Not a wine with grand gestures, yet it lingers. Made with those remarkable Gamay grapes, the very heart of Beaujolais. The 'La Madone' vineyard is a special place, blessed with crumbly pink sandstone soil, and a hilltop chapel watching over the vines. The winemaker uses tradition as a guide, not a rule book. The grapes are whole-bunch fermented, adding a touch of rustic charm. It sees oak, yes, but old and mellow, just to lend a little structure, not dominate. The result is something like bottled sunshine - a wine for sharing with friends around a table, long after the last plate is cleared.
The Producer:
Boutinot, the guys responsible for this wine, is a big name in the UK's wine scene and are behind many labels seen on shelves up and down the country. Paul Boutinot kicked things off in 1980, starting with importing wines and soon partnering with winemakers around the globe. They've since gone on to produce their own wines from places like the Rhône Valley, Italy, South Africa and many other places. Their secret is in backing passionate winemakers who aren't afraid to push the envelope, always aiming for wines that really capture the essence of their regions. This, along with providing excellent value for money, is something they've really nailed.
When to drink:
Open it as the sun dips below the horizon, its delicate charm a perfect match for simple roast chicken and a tangle of buttered greens.
Suitable for Vegans
