Joseph Drouhin
Beaujolais-Villages
DESCRIPTION:
- Although Beaujolais is part of “Greater Burgundy”, it differs from Burgundy in many respects.
- Out of the 35,000 hectares of gamay planted throughout the world, 22,000 hectares are in the Beaujolais area, spread over 38 villages.
- Maison Joseph Drouhin has always had a special affinity for this area and, since their pioneering work in the early fifties, has assiduously promoted it around the world.
- Made from grapes harvested in villages celebrated for the quality of their terroir and micro-climate, this wine represents, vintage after vintage, the true spirit of the Beaujolais-Villages appellation.
- Soil: schist and pink granite.
GRAPE VARIETY: Gamay
FOOD PAIRINGS: Beaujolais Villages is very versatile with all kinds of food, especially simple and flavorful dishes such as hors d’oeuvres, salads, pasta and pizza.
TASTING NOTES: “A truly convivial wine. Owing to the careful blending of various terroirs, the result is a wine of great charm. It has a lovely raspberry color and a brilliant hue. The nose is both refined and intense, with notes of violet, peony and red fruit syrup. As you drink it, it feels fresh and silky. Both freshness and fruit remain for quite a long time on the palate”; lingers for a long time.” – Véronique Boss-Drouhin
