Beaujolais Nouveau

The primeur is the most difficult wine to make and to sell because of the very short timing. The vinification is of high quality and identical to the other wines. From October 20, I am blending the most fruity and supple cuvees. The granites of the Saint-Vérand terroir give us the Beaujolais Nouveau with character, a real wine, as natural as possible which can improve even further within 12 months. A Beaujolais Nouveau but not only ...

Colour

Shiny and bright ruby color.

Nose

Complex and felted. Ripe fruits with aromas of raspberry and blackurrant.

Mouth feel

Rich beginning with round tannins, a good maturity followed by the nice fruits bouquet. Pepper note with a good acidity and fineness, persistent finish.

Food and wine pairings

With many plates: white and red meat, saucisson chaud, cheese and charcuteries, Lyon region cuisine, all the terrine (pork and poultry), fish. Original ideas: vinegared oysters !
