Stéphane Aviron aims for an easy drinking and fruit forwards style on this Beaujolais Villages. On the nose, there are abundant notes of macerated strawberries with hints of herbs. The acidity is bright with soft tannins with abundant red fruit on the palate.

Pair with just about anything or enjoy on its on as an aperitif.

The Stéphane Aviron Beaujolais Villages is sourced from two of the best terroirs of the appellation, both with old vines averaging at least 50 years in age. The vines in the commune of Quincié have sandy, granite soils and the commune of Lantignié has clay and limestone soils with favorable southwest exposure.

Whole clusters of grapes are fermented, and then macerated for six days to extract characters of fruit and finesse. The wine is aged in cement tanks to retain the purity of the fresh fruit. The wine shows great finesse, elegance and a very “easy drinking” nature.

This is a hearty Beaujolais Villages that is brimming with end-of-summer fruit. The wine opens with cranberry, dried red cherry, strawberry and red currant. Wet stone rides under ripe red fruit with grippy tannins holding court through to the finish. Drink now or hold as the wine could continue to develop with more time in bottle. Best Buy -R.S.
