2014 Domaine de Bellevue Beaujolais ‘La Galoche’

Region: Beaujolais < Burgundy < France
Grapes: Gamay
Vineyard/Cellar Stats: Certified organic farming, minimal SO2 at bottling, carbonic fermentation, unfined/unfiltered

From an estate that has been certified organic since 2008, comes this single vineyard Beaujolais. They’re a bigger estate than many in the region, but they operate with the care and focus on working naturally as anybody. With soft tannins, bright cherry and red berry fruit, cinnamon spice, a bit of earthiness and great acidity, this wine is seriously gulp-able and immensely food-friendly. Fans of Pinot Noir take note, this one’s for you…
