| Beaujolais Nouveau |
|
|
The
Beaujolais vinification is called 'Carbonic
Maceration': the whole
grapes ferment in the vat, no de-stalking is done.
This process brings out the best of
the Gamay
grape: youth, freshness and charm.
Beaujolais
Nouveau was a pionneer a few years back, the first
Appellation d'Origine of the new vintage to be released, on
each 3rd Thursday of November. Today, despite copycats
in France and elsewhere, the Beaujolais Nouveau release remains a
worldwide event for wine-amateurs and about 30% of the regional
production is sold under this appellation.
Tasting Notes:
With
its beautiful ruby-red to violet robe and its very expressive,
aromatic nose of fresh berries, this is
a thirst-quenching wine,
light and soft, simple but elegant.
In
some years, exotic aromas can be found but the
Gamay fruit and flesh generally prevail.

Beaujolais Villages
|
Approximately
40 Villages of the Beaujolais region make up the
Beaujolais-Villages appellation. A great diversity
of soil can be found, from clay to
granites, sands and limestone. A great diversity of exposure to sun
also, ranging from South to East-North-East, giving very different
wines, in both style and structure.
David
& Foillard selects complementary cuvées in
various parts of the appellation, relying mostly on the same
growers every year, although some vintages require to adjust
for more fruit or more character. We exclusively
distribute 85 châteaux and estates from the appellation
Beaujolais Villages.
Tasting
Notes:
The personality of Beaujolais Villages is quite versatile but we
try to put the emphasis on the balance between a
very aromatic, expressive nose, the aromas of red berries
(strawberries, blackcurrant) and a soft structure, pleasant
and round.
