Six superb expressions of beautiful Beaujolais from all corners of the region.
$322.00$290.00
It's become something of a trope nowadays, however it's truer now than ever: if you want 'value' in Burgundy, you've got to drink Beaujolais.
These six wines demonstrate the excellence of modern-day Beaujolais. These six scintillating Gamays come from all corners of the region and showcase the great terroirs from the finest crus.
Some of Beaujolais' most iconic names are featured here as well as some rising stars. For the enthusiast or for the novice, this pack is epic. And badass.
Gamay grown across four hectares of fifty year old estate vines mid slope in Chiroubles. The vineyards face east and are in prime position to soak up the warmth of the morning sun lending ripeness to the vines. Combine this with the cool freshness of altitude and the minerality of poor soils and you have an irresistible combination.
Deliciously drinkable yet far from simple, a great example of the uniqueness that can be found in Cru Beaujolais.

The grapes come from the South-East section of Delienne's Fleurie vineyard where the soils are a mix of sand and rocky granite.This combination of soils, along with the gentle extraction of tannin and colour in the cellar by Marc's hand, yields a wine with an intoxicating perfume and finesse.
Buoyant, expressive, pulsating with energy, it's these kind of wines that are driving people back to Beaujolais in such a big way at the moment.
Only tiny allocations available for a limited time.

While the subregion of Chenas may not be as well known as Morgon, Fleurie or Moulin-a-Vent, it is possible to find some incredibly good wines there, and La Fayarde is one example. While it's not as rich and complex as Lardy's other wines, it is certainly the freshest and most vibrant.
Red fruits, spice characters and high acid are supported by some surprising structure, with minerality adding a bit of interest to the palate.

It's the place to look for structured, serious wines that still show Gamay's intense juicy deliciousness.
Bonne Tonne has some old vines on these high slopes, and this is a complex, minimal intervention gem of a wine. Intense cherry and raspberry meld with richer autumnal mulchy tones and a fine line of minerality runs through it like a laser beam aimed at Sean Connery's nether regions.

Fresh and bouncy with intense red and black cherry fruit flavours, aged in large oak casks and with little other winemaking impediments.
The original ,'Origine', lo-fi Beaujolais.
Read more about 2020 Pierre-Marie Chermette Beaujolais Origine Vieilles VignesThibault Charnay only decided to bottle his own wines in 2019 so this is just the second release of his classic Beaujolais.
His family vineyards, recently converted to organics, are based in the golden soils, the 'Terres Dorees' in the southern part of the Beaujolais.
We loved the freshness, minerality and drive of this juicy beauty, with plenty of cherry and wild herb flavours and a stoney, slaty frame.

Perfect summer drinking and a variety of styles that has pushed the family out of its comfort zone. There are some really excellent and well priced wines in this half dozen that has led me to purchase another half dozen of one or two of those that we liked most - they are sooo delicious. Can't recommend this BB pack highly enough, Andrew Dulwich HIll
