Wine of the week: Fall in Burgundy

30/8/2018

As we're moving into the beautiful season of autumn, we tend to leave cravings for white and rosé wines back in the summer months. And fall is a great time of the year to explore lighter reds. Our wine of the week is from the Beaujolais area.
Picture
Beaujolais is the southern most appellation in the greater Burgundy region. They generally make lighter red wines from the Gamay grape. There are ten Beaujolais crus and they differ a lot in character. There is also something called Beaujolais-Villages. These are simpler wines, ment to be consumed young. And it's here you can find the real bargains. That goes for our wine of the week.

Tasting notes

Dominique Piron Beaujolais-Villages 2016 - 169kr


Clear and beautiful red colour, with a blue edge.
Vibrant smell of cherries, blueberries and hint of autumn leaves. 
Super soft and delicious in the mouth. Nice flavours of sweet cherries and hints of blackberries. Very juicy and balanced wine, with nice bitterness, soft tannins and a long after taste.

An excellent value for money wine, that feels expensive.

FOOD

Great wine with lighter meat dishes such as calf or pork. Would also be great with a classic Italian pizza with spicy salami.
