Staff Pick Notes

Daniel Bouland is producer famous for old-style Beaujolais in Morgon. His vineyards are 60-75 years old. In addition, recently, he acquired a land that lies on granite. All his grapes are hand picked and the wine created is bottled unfiltered. Wonderful aromas of plums, red berries, and violet are noticeable, followed by flavors of spices and cocoa. It's a velvety wine with smooth tannins, a lively acidity and a pronounced minerality. A solid example of well-made wine from the Gamay grape. Not overly fruity and very well balanced in its components, I would pair this wine with grilled meat or soft cheeses!

Beaujolais Nouveau is perhaps the most gulpable wine made anywhere, and it should be drunk very soon after its release, which occurs each year on the...
