The days when idiots in supercars raced out of Beaujolais with a boot full of cheap alcoholic Vimto are long, long gone. The wines in this case represent the future of gamay as a grape capable of producing fruit-driven but age worthy wines on a par with their nonsensically more prestigious northern neighbour, pinot noir. In fact, we’d say Beaujolais is now the more consistently delicious region when compared like-for-like with Burgundy. Don’t believe us? Buy these wines and you will.
