Expressive and well-structured Beaujolais

Fragrant with aromas of both red and black summer fruits as well as a touch of liquorice. A medium-bodied palate with supple flavours of wild strawberries, raspberry and pomegranate as well as a hint of pepper and anise. Fruity and rich with silky tannins, a Beaujolais of substance and texture.

Food Pairing: Seared tuna steak, spicy chicken wings, red-fruited cheesecake

STORY BEHIND THIS WINE

There once was a time when it was easy to tell the difference between top-quality Beaujolais and Burgundy. Not so any more. Top-quality Beaujolias is now seen as a rival for many of its Northern cousins in everything except the price tag. Laurent Savoye of Domaine des Combiers bears some responsibility for this. Dedicated to farming in the traditional method, his wines have been punching above their wieght for years. "He makes one of the best Beaujolais Villages you will find" Neal Martin, Wine Advocate.
