Beaujolais native Stephane Aviron has been at the forefront of the movement to restore the region’s reputation with high-quality cru Beaujolais, that is gamay from the best vineyard sites and diligent winemaking. His bottling from the village of Fleurie showcases organically-grown, 55-90 year old vines on a steep slope, fermentation in steel tank, and 12 months of aging in large, 3000 liter foudres of neutral oak. The result is amazing Beaujolais, medium-bodied, fresh red and black berries with impressive depth and length. Buy enough bottles to enjoy some now (Thanksgiving), but also to stash away for five years for even further evolvement. (Gary)
