La Cave d'Augustin Florent Beaujolais Villages 2018 (6x 750mL), Burgundy

Description:

This red, and Gamay in general, is a great summer wine because it's light and fruit forward. It's also best when slightly chilled, so perfect for those warmer days! I think the fruit flavours and slight earthiness would work great with pork dishes. For die-hard cab lovers, this is probably too light, but if you like Pinot Noir or other lighter grapes, give Beaujolais a shot!

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

COLOUR

Lighter and more of a cherry red in colour, fairly transparent. This immediately gives me the impression it'll be a lighter bodied wine.

AROMA

Very fruit forward! Smelled like ripe red berries. Some other students picked up on a more earthy smell, but the fruit is what was most apparent to me.

PALATE:

This is one of those wines where what you smell is what you get. It is very fruity with cherry and strawberry shining through, but don't confuse fruity with sweet. It's not sweet. I also picked up on a hint of earthiness, which is common in French wine, but I didn't feel like I was eating dirt or anything. It's had a nice medium body with good acidity. Tannin was not apparent, which is characteristic of the grape.
