Beaujolais Villages Nouveau

2010 Burgundy Gamay Noir

The Joseph Drouhin Beaujolais Villages Nouveau is a delightful expression of Gamay Noir, showcasing its vibrant red hue that captures the essence of youthful exuberance. Hailing from the renowned Burgundy region, this vintage reveals an approachable and lively character perfect for festive occasions. The wine's body is light, making it easy to enjoy and pair with a variety of foods. Its acidity is refreshingly bright, providing a zesty lift that enhances the overall experience. The fruit intensity shines through with prominent notes of juicy red berries, particularly strawberries and cherries, while soft tannins contribute a gentle structure without overpowering the palate. This wine is bone dry, allowing the pure fruit flavors to take center stage, making it a charming choice for those seeking a cheerful and easygoing red.

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.
