Wine description | Dress: deep and bright garnet. Nose: intense black pepper, black licorice and iris of a beautiful depth. Mouth: the wine is dense and tight, very firm with body, in a Moulin-à-Vent style rather light as it is often lent to Saint-Amour and has a great potential for evolution. |
Beaujolais is the most southern wine growing region in Burgundy, though it is substantially different from rest of Burgundy, both in climate and in the wine it produces, it is often thought of as its own appellation.
Beaujolais produces light, dry red wines made from Gamay. Perhaps what the region is best known for is Beaujolais Nouveau, a fresh and fruity red wine made for immediate consumption....
