Vignobles Bulliat, Chenas "Les Daroux", Beaujolais, France, 2021
{organic} 100% Gamay
BERRYISH BRIGHTNESS, WISPY SPICE & MINERAL
Beaujolais is perhaps most famous for its fun, fresh, fragrant reds, and this offering from the always-stellar Bulliat doesn’t rock that boat, but it does rock our world. Hailing from the heralded Chénas cru, it brings both the berryish bravado and granite-hewn minerality that we love along with floral spice, ginger, & foresty earth. Can’t be all things to all people? You just watch, this is equal parts crowd-pleaser and captivating study in terroir.
Serving Suggestions: Turkey Salisbury steak w/ hickory-smoked bacon & smashed japanese sweet potato w/ morel gravy. Picnic spreads!
