France - Burgundy (5)

Beaujolais Villages Andre Goichot (75 cl), €17.00

A lovely very soft easy drinking classic French red. Made from the Gamay grape, unique to the Beaujolais region. Dry in style with delicate red berry fruits and a nice soft warm earthiness. Can even be served chilled and can be enjoyed with all but the very heaviest powerful red or white dishes.

Bourgogne Pinot Noir Naudin Tiercin (75 cl), €22.00

To the eye, this Bourgogne Pinot Noir is richly coloured in its youth, then, with the age, shading towards dark ruby. To the nose it offers at first a basket of small red and black fruits (strawberry, cherry, blackcurrant, bilberry) later evolving into cooked prune and peppery notes. It is lively and structured in the mouth with a well-rounded and supple backbone.

Fleurie Andre Goichot (75 cl), €10.00

Fleurie The most famous of all Beaujolais Villages. Made from the same Gamay grape as classic Beujolais but Fleurie is a heavier more powerful red. The same red berry fruits are evident, but now with some added complexity of darker fruits, pepper and Christmas spices make for a lovely, easy drinking but powerful red wine. Great with hard and soft cheeses and classic roasts, be it red or white meat.

Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Villages (75 cl), €15.00

This Beaujolais-Villages has been made from Gamay grapes and carefully selected for its red and black berry aromas. Fleshy and full-bodied with silky tannins, it is best served slightly chilled with beef, rabbit or cheese.
