Beaujolais

The wines of Beaujolais are a foodie’s dream. The inherently low tannin, bright acidity, and fresh fruity/floral aromas and flavors of Beaujolais are enjoyed in bistros the world over, and these wines provide a reliable and inexpensive no-fuss option to pair with nearly anything you decide to create at home. Basic Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages are flawless when paired with patés and rillettes, cold-cut sandwiches, or traditional saucisson sec! More substantial ‘cru’ versions of Beaujolais can handle favorites like duck confit, steak tartare, seared duck breast, and roasted game birds, and they are a smart substitute for red Burgundy in a coq au vin recipe! Beaujolais Nouveau pairs well with cheeses like Camembert and Brie, and it occupies a coveted slot as the optimum red wine companion to sushi!
