Beaujolais for September Sipping

Anne-Sophie is one of the new, forward-thinking winemakers driving the next generation of Beaujolais. Originally from Champagne, she cut her winemaking teeth in Burgundy – however, as we all know, breaking into the Burg scene can be quite pricey, if not impossible, for most. She looked to nearby Beaujolais and the rest was history.

This week, we're excited to share her Les Labourons Fleurie with you. On the palate, the wine shows great depth and spice, marked by fresh, mineral-driven flavors of strawberry, pencil shavings, and a ripe, cherry core laden with notes of pepper. It's more intense and compact in flavor than lighter styles of wine we generally enjoy from the region, though thanks to its bright acid and low tannins, it's still simply a breeze to drink – especially on cooler nights.

Throw in the fridge for 10-20 minutes and enjoy with a slight chill. You won't regret it! Stop by grab a bottle (or few) for the weekend ahead. We'd love to see you in person.
