Parker’s Wine Advocate: “This should turn into a GREAT wine.” Gilles Gelin is one of the brightest young stars of the region, crafting deep, dark, vinous Gamays that seem far more at home in the Côte de Nuits than Fleurie or Morgon. In a 2013 growing season that gave birth to some of the more…
Top Sommelier Favorite Everyday Red 2015 Beaujolais is a game changer. The wines are impressively dark, vibrant, unctuous and pleasurable. If you haven’t tried any, the 2015 Anne-Sophie Dubois, Fleurie “L’Alchimiste” is a must. Anne-Sophie Dubois is a rockstar winemaker of the region. If you don’t believe us, consider what The Wine Advocate has said:…
94-Point “Powerful and Balanced” Cru Beaujolais During a recent dinner with friends, we could tell our ordering frenzy sent our server for a loop—from steaks to oysters, pork belly, and chicken marsala the combination would be a pairing nightmare for some, but we were unfazed. Our choice was simple: Beaujolais. Specifically, we chose the 2015…
Once-In-a-Lifetime Concentration in Fleurie Several months back, Eric Asimov, the wine critic whose columns in The New York Times remain required reading for collectors and industry cognoscenti, presided over a tasting of 20 bottles of Cru Beaujolais. “The 2014 vintage… was a very good one, maybe even superb,” Asimov wrote. “They can be enjoyed early…
Georges Duboeuf is, without a doubt, the most famous name in Beaujolais, responsible for revolutionizing the region’s wines and bringing them to American wine lovers, and as Wine Advocate puts it Georges DuBoeuf “the world’s highest scoring French wine brand under $20.” We love this bottling because it offers a side of Georges Duboeuf that…
Cru Beaujolais From Under-the-Radar Best In the tiny commune of Chenas, where the population dips below 500, everyone knows the names of Anita and Andre Kuhnel. “Quelques uns des meilleurs vins du Beaujolais,” (“some of the best wines in the Beaujolais”) they’ll tell you. Of course, as good as the Kuhnel’s 2016 Domaine Anita Moulin-à-Vent…
Case-Buy Cru AOC’s Top Bottling This is your chance to claim the perfect summer red wine. No matter how you celebrate, this time of year calls for a red wine that can do it all: It has to shine on its own, to keep you cool when the mercury hits triple-digit highs, and keep the…
“Are you kidding?” We recall blurting out when we learned the price. Nothing could have prepared us for the sheer power and structure of this bargain Cru Beaujolais. It could easily pass for a much higher-priced red Burgundy from the north—only the silky tannins and juicy quality of the ripe fruit give it the distinct mark…
Vibrant and structured: Beaujolais at its Best We thought our last meeting with organic vintner Julien Sunier would go the same as always: We’d taste through his lineup of cru Beaujolais, confirm our allocation, and then—after a leisurely lunch and an espresso—say à la prochaine and cruise up to the Côte de Beaune. But since…
Charly Thévenet, son of Beaujolais legend Jean-Paul Thévenet, is leading his home region’s charge into the future. This one, the 2018 Charly Thévenet Régnié Grain et Granit gushes with a medley of berries, herbs, exotic spices, crushed stones, and lavender. It outperforms nearly every other example of the region’s wines that you’ll find below $35….
Juliénas is the oldest and very first Cru of Beaujolais. Named for Julius Caesar, winemaking there goes back 2,000 years to the Gallo-Roman empire. These diverse soils have always been lusted over—covering just two square miles of vineyards, Juliénas has 120 producers fighting for its prized, increasingly expensive, grapes. Yet only Michel Tête’s wines were…
Wine Access members have rare access to one of the hottest producers in all of Beaujolais: Domaine Gérard Brisson. Gérard Brisson’s “Les Charmes” La Louve Morgon just may be the finest example of Cru Beaujolais you can purchase today. Hailing from the preeminent cru of Morgon, this wine expresses the rich boldness that Beaujolais devotees…
The best red Burgundies are packed with aromatic complexity, concentrated yet lithe, velvety smooth, and capable of aging for a decade or more. Domaine Anita’s stellar Reine de Nuit is a reminder that Beaujolais is very much a part of Burgundy—and that the region’s signature Gamays can be every bit as good as the Pinots…
Lyon is said to be a city of three rivers: the Rhône, the Saône…and the Beaujolais, whose ruby colored liquid is crucial to the revelry and gastronomy for which the city is famous. Serious Lyonnaise imbibers have long known that there’s Beaujolais, then there’s cru Beaujolais—and within that category, there’s an upper echelon. Château Thivin…
There’s Beaujolais, with its fruit-forward, kick-back-and-enjoy reputation. Then there’s cru Beaujolais: Serious wines from the region’s patchwork of ten appellations that “can stand against many fine Burgundies,” according to Wine Enthusiast. Among them, none are more ethereal, supple, and hauntingly aromatic as those from Fleurie. Ensconced in the region’s granite-rich hills, the small cru is…
