2010 Burgundy Gamay Noir

Joseph Drouhin Beaujolais Nouveau, a delightful red wine crafted from Gamay Noir, hails from the picturesque Burgundy region. This vintage showcases a light-bodied profile, offering a refreshing experience with its mild acidity that dances gracefully on the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring vibrant notes of red berries, especially raspberry and strawberry, which evoke a sense of youthful exuberance. The tannins are subtle and soft, enhancing the wine's approachability and making it a fantastic choice for casual gatherings or picnics. While it leans toward a dry style, the overall character is charmingly fruity and inviting, making it an excellent introduction to the joys of Beaujolais.

Burgundy is the spiritual home of many of today's favorite winemaking styles. Steeped in history and prestige, it is the source of some of the most expensive wines in the world. A sprawling collection of tiny winemaking provinces (made up of over 100 different appellations), Burgundy is where the world's premier Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines originated. Regions and subregions like Pouilly-Fuissé, Vosne-Romanée, Chassagne-Montrachet exude grandeur and opulence. While Burgundy is centered around a hallowed limestone escarpment known as the Côte d'Or, it actually stretches 200 miles, from Chablis just southeast of Paris, down to the Beaujolais plains above Lyon.
