The 2015 vintage in Beaujolais and seemingly with good reason. This particular wine, while by no means profound, is everything one could ask for in terms of sheer drinkability.
As seems to be the case with 2015’s it possesses a relatively deep colour. Aromatically, it offers up enticing characters of cherry and plum compote, reflecting the ripeness of the vintage. In the mouth, it is satin-like in texture, full-flavoured yet light as a ballerina on its feet.
Although rather linear, this is simply an irresistible, juicy wine that says ‘drink me’. On this evidence, there is a lot to like to like about 2015 Beaujolais. More of this ilk please!
