Wine Review: Grand Cru level Beaujolais is the way to go if you want to enjoy wine made from Beaujolais. This particular ruby colored wine opens with a slightly spicy raspberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, smooth, soft, with dusty cherry flavors. The finish is quite dry and its mild tannins linger for quite some time. Try this refined affordable Grand Cru with a gourmet burger smothered with sautéed mushrooms and onions, and topped with cheddar cheese. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: With a deep sherry colour, with walnut and little red fruits aromas, this wine has silky tannins that will help it to age. It will be a perfect partner for Italian foods, red and white meats when young. Getting older, it will be perfect with game meat.
