2016 Beaujolais
2016 Beaujolais – delicious, in the main… This Beaujolais vintage has, as a broad generalisation, the same sucrosity – a sweetness of flavour – that was seen in 2015, except that the fruit profile of the 2016s has more freshness and less ‘cooked’ spice when compared to 2015. Read More

2014 Blind Beaujolais Tasting
