Wine Reviews

Warm purple plum flavors carry through this supple, summertime red. It’s a simple, meaty gamay.

Saturated violet. Lively and focused on the nose, displaying fresh red and blue fruit scents sharpened by a peppery nuance. Juicy and lithe on the palate, offering tangy red currant and bitter cherry flavors; an earthy licorice note builds on the back half. Subtly gripping tannins firm a nicely persistent finish that echoes the peppery quality.

Vivid ruby-red. Blue fruits and cherry on the nose, and hints of pungent flowers and baking spices in the background. Fleshy and open-knit, offering jammy boysenberry and cherry flavors that turn spicier with air. Closes smooth and gently spicy, with subtle tannins and a touch of succulent herbs.

Offering up demonstrative aromas of strawberry preserve and plummy fruit, the 2020 Beaujolais-Villages (Maison Louis Jadot) is medium to full-bodied, seamless and charming, with a fleshy core of fruit framed by ripe, powdery tannins and lively acids.
