Beaujolais 2023
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
Fruit for Louis Jadot Beaujolais is grown in the southern part of Beaujolais. Soils are light, and allow a light, fresh expression of Gamay. Long-term contracts with growers ensure top quality fruit comprises the final blend. Louis Jadot’s generous use of “replis,” or blending wines of a higher classification to elevate the blend, promotes quality and value.
Harvest Note
The weather in the beginning of the growing season was ideal and the vegetative cycle began as expected. The summer was very hot, hitting record temperatures with abudent sunshine. August was cool and rainy, steadying the ripening pace after the dry summer. Sunny, dry weather at the end of the August, allowed the grapes to successfully finish ripening. Harvest began in early September.
Tasting Note
This plump, juicy wine has bright aromas and flavors of strawberry and black cherry. It is medium-bodied, with typically high acidity.
