This is an exceptional, unfiltered Beaujolais-Villages that could easily be mistaken for one of the more prestigious names of the region such as Fleurie or Chiroubles. Its wonderful floral aroma sets the stage for pure, penetrating black cherry and cassis flavors. This medium-bodied wine finishes with exceptional length and bracing acidity. It's the epitome of elegance in this price range.
