Wine: Beautiful Beaujolais

Springtime is here and at this time of year I crave fruit in my wine and there are few fruitier or more pleasurable wines than a good Beaujolais.

Beaujolais is not a wine to think too much about and you won’t find it in many lists of desert island or “last supper” wine lists, but its sheer drinkability is what makes it so charming.

First off I do not particularly advise buying Beaujolais Nouveau which is released just a few weeks after harvest and can have a distinct bubblegum aroma (but you might be lucky).
