Vignobles Bulliat, Beaujolais-Villages Rouge "Bibine", Beaujolais, France 2023
{organic} 100% Gamay
BERRIES & GRANITE. EARTHY, RICH & EXPRESSIVE.
"Bibine" means "booze" in French, and wines made with Gamay are known for being fruity and eminently chuggable, but this organic Beaujolais-Villages is surprisingly sophisticated. Elegant aromas of strawberries, lavender, and granite lead into flavors of rich purple and red fruits, sage, tea, black pepper, and dusty earth. The minerality is racy and the finish is smooth. Light-bodied, bright, and fresh, this wine is begging to be brought on a picnic!
Serving Suggestion: Endive gratin w/ Gruyère. Herb-roasted chicken w/ a beet, goat cheese, & walnut salad. Cheeses like Brie, Camembert, or St.-André.
