Beaujolais Villages A.C. Ερυθρός Ξηρός 2021

Ένα πραγµατικά ευχάριστο κρασί. Εξαιτίας του προσεγµένου µίγµατος των terroir το αποτέλεσµα του κρασιού είναι εξαιρετικά γοητευτικό. Έχει ένα αξιολάτρευτο κόκκινο του βατόµουρου χρώµα µε καταπληκτικές αποχρώσεις. Στη µύτη είναι παράλληλα λεπτό και έντονο µε νότες βιολέτας, παιώνιας και σιροπιαστών κόκκινων φρούτων. Καθώς το πίνετε µοιάζει φρέσκο και µεταξένιο. Η φρεσκάδα και το φρούτο παραµένουν για πολύ ώρα στο στόµα.

VARIETY: Gamay

ALCOHOL: 12,5%

Tasting by Véronique Boss-Drouhin

A truly convivial wine. Owing to the careful blending of various terroirs, the result is a wine of great charm. It has a lovely raspberry colour and a brilliant hue. The nose is both refined and intense, with notes of violet, peony and red fruit syrup. As you drink it, it feels fresh and silky. Both freshness and fruit remain for quite a long time on the palate.
