Louis Jadot Beaujolais-Villages

Listening to UB40 Red Red Wine last night and feeling sad as the last days of summer are quickly rolling upon us, so I had to open a bottle of Louis Jadot Beaujolais-Villages, which is my trusty go-to Red, Red Wine! Great summertime red wine, fruit-forward, medium-bodied Gamay that can surely stand up to some of the cru Beaujolais out there. You can’t go wrong with this wine: it is a great value, even tastes better on the second night if any of it makes it that long. Perfect with a burger, charcuterie plate, or just sipping and bopping to some reggae at the end of summer.

ORIGIN

Beaujolais, Burgundy, France

Grapes

100 % Gamay

Tasting Notes

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

Food Match

Light red meats and grilled or roasted white meats.
