I’m slowly getting through my picks from Adam’s Wine List. I’m not much of a wine expert but having someone give recommendations based on what they have drink is a pretty efficient way to learn. For the past year or so I’ve been focusing on wines from Italy and France as a way to immerse myself in a specific wine region to learn the regions, grapes and their respective tastes. This week’s wine was a 2007 Louis Jadot Beaujolais Villages.
Without realizing it, this was one of the “newest” wines I’ve tried in recent memory. I’m no wine expert and I’m surprised I tasted what I considered to be a newer wine taste, but it was still very pleasant. It was less fragrant than last week’s 2006 Banfi Centine but the taste was not as developed. I’m thinking that this would be a better “keeper” wine for it to develop more. It’s still not a bad wine at all, and I recommend it, but definetly feel it would get better with age.
Here’s what the LCBO description is:
The most popular red wine in the Vintages Essentials Collection entices with its bouquet of smoke, cherry and fresh plum. Vivacious and fruity, this light- to medium-bodied Beaujolais has a succulent mouthfeel. Serve lightly chilled with grilled salmon or tuna steaks.
