There's a real charm about the lighter reds of the Beaujolais; and though wines made from the Gamay grape are never going to be blockbusters, they are very drinkable, companionable wines that suit a variety of foods without being overpowering. The crus or village wines—not to be confused with the evanescent Beaujolais Nouveau—are also capable of aging very stylishly indeed.

Laurent Perrachon Fleurie Vieilles Vignes
Regular price €21.00
Tax included.
The most feminine of the Beaujolais crus, this Fleurie comes from a recent addition to the Perrachon domaine, a parcel of land that yields wines of especially high quality.
Fleurie is probably the most feminine of the Beaujolais cru wines. This new addition to the Perrachon domaine is a very special example. Within the Fleurie area, some parcels are of greater quality, like the Perrachons', which lies at the feet of La Madone, a very rugged landscape with steep slopes, probably the best climat (in Burgundy, a delimited area with specific characteristics) in the Fleurie appellation.
The piece of land from which this wine comes, in the lieu-dit "La Cadole", is almost completely surrounded by the prestigious La Madone vineyard that gave a Gold Medal winner at the International Wine Challenge in London in 2008, among more than 40,000 samples from all over the world.
A vibrant red in colour, with a rich, velvety texture and an elegant mix of fruit and floral aromas such as iris, violet, summer roses, peach, blackcurrants and red fruits. Serve this beauty cool at 13° C, with lamb, poultry and white meats.

Laurent Perrachon Chénas '3 Mozaic'
Regular price €19.00
Tax included.
Complex aromas of ripe black fruits, with floral and woody notes. Laurent Perrachon's Chénas is considered one of the best in the appellation.
This small appellation was once covered with oaks (chênes) hence its name. The Perrachon's parcel, called "En Champagne" is one of the most desirable in Chénas, with a good southern exposure, on sandy soil. The average age of the vines is seventy years, and this is one of the first vineyards harvested as it matures quickly.
The wine is ruby-red in colour, with tints of garnet, full-bodied by Beaujolais standards, with floral, woody notes and a velvety texture. It shouldn't be served too warm: maybe 14° C, with game, meat in a rich sauce, or strong cheeses.
