Day #[wpdts-day-of-year start=”post-created”] of the year.

Louis Jadot Beaujolais-Villages

Hopefully you’re making the most of these end-of-summer days in the fresh, almost-fall air, and when you’ve finished enjoying your reviving outdoor activities, nothing tops it off like a glass of Beaujolais-Villages. Take it from personal experience! Hiking and canoeing are especially rewarding when they end with a glass of vino. Louis Jadot Beaujolais-Villages is light-bodied and easy-drinking yet bursting with flavor. My canoe companions and I agreed that a cheese and salumi sandwich under the sun on the riverbank was the perfect pairing.

ORIGIN

Beaujolais, France

Grapes

Gamay

Tasting Notes

This crisp, fruit-forward, juicy wine has expressive aromas and flavors of ripe red berries, with nice weight in the mouth.

Light red meats and grilled or roasted white meats.
