Wine Tasting: Bonsoir, Beaujolais

Bonsoir, Beaujolais

A little French flair and ten wines worth getting to know.

The French gave Beaujolais its own day, and we’re giving it the attention it deserves.

Every third Thursday in November, Beaujolais Nouveau Day marks the release of the region’s young wines from the latest harvest. It’s a much-loved wine calendar tradition and the perfect excuse to explore everything else Beaujolais has up its sleeve.

On Thursday, 19 November, join us at Culture Wine Bar for a tasting of 10 Beaujolais wines, exploring older vintages and some of the region’s celebrated crus. From Fleurie and Saint-Amour to Morgon and Moulin-à-Vent, we’ll discover the different personalities of Gamay, the grape at the heart of these wines.

The line-up features:

1. Domaine Vieux Vourg Morgon Cinq Terres 2022
2. Domaine Raphael Chopin Regnie La Ronze 2022
3. Domaine Paul Janin et Fils Moulin a Vent Heritage 2019
4. Domaine du Clos du Fief Saint-Amour Les Capitans 2023
5. Domaine des Marrans Fleurie des Marrans 2023
6. Château de la Chaize Brouilly Les Deux Amis 2023
7. Château de la Chaize Fleurie La Madone 2023
8. Domaine Jean Foillard Morgon Cote du Py 2022
9. Domaine Vieux Vourg Beaujolais Villages 2022
10. Domaine du Clos du Fief Julienas Clos du Fief 2023

Whether you’re already rather fond of Beaujolais or have simply been meaning to find out what all the fuss is about, there’s plenty to get acquainted with.

Consider it a little French lesson with rather good study material.
