Staff Pick Notes

Look closely at the label of this bottle. It says Beaujolais, then the village name Lantingnié. So this is a Beaujolais villages, but from the specific village of Lantingnié. Why is this important, you ask? Well, the Lantingnié Villages Gamay grapes are prized for their deep color and depth of flavor. The Gamay grapes for this Beaujolais Lantingnié were grown on a south-facing granite slope, and the wine was made in the classic Beaujolais way: whole bunch fermentation, carbonic maceration, natural yeasts.

Beaujolais Nouveau is perhaps the most gulpable wine made anywhere, and it should be drunk very soon after its release, which occurs each year on the...
