Louis Jadot Beaujolais 2016 |
Strong red purple color. Fresh red fruits on the nose with a hint of dark cherry. Slightly spicy with a touch of grey pepper, liquorice and a touch of rose flower. This wine is very well balanced with a nice acidity and supple tannins on the finish.
Pair this wine with terrines, charcuteries, grilled red meat, white fish, cheese or simply as the sole wine of a meal.
The quintessential red for when the sun comes out, this is light and floral with flavours of crushed berry fruit and rose petal.
Grapes are sourced from the finest vineyards within the Beaujolais-Villages appellation in northern Beaujolais. Louis Jadot practices the quality-driven “replis” method, whereby grapes of higher classifications from the 10 famed Beaujolais Cru villages are added to elevate the blend. The area’s granite and sandy subsoils contain a high percentage of manganese, which produces an especially deep and rich expression of Gamay. Grapes are handpicked in whole bunches and traditional Burgundian methods are used for vinification.
TASTING NOTE
This crisp, fruit-forward, juicy wine has expressive aromas and flavors of ripe red berries, with nice weight in the mouth.
FOOD PAIRING
Light red meats and grilled or roasted white meats.
